The convergence of next-generation Networks and the emergence of new media systems have made media-rich digital libraries popular in application and research. The discovery of media content objects＇ usage patterns, where QPop Increment is the characteristic feature under study, is the basis of intelligent data migration scheduling, the very key issue for these systems to manage effectively the massive storage facilities in their backbones. In this paper, a clustering algorithm is established, on the basis of temporal segmentation of QPop Increment, so as to improve the mining performance. We employed the standard C-Means algorithm as the clustering kernel, and carried out the experimental mining process with segmented QPop Increases obtained in actual applications. The results indicated that the improved algorithm is more advantageous than the basic one in important indices such as the clustering cohesion. The experimental study in this paper is based on a Media Assets Library prototype developed for the use of the advertainment movie production project for Olympics 2008, under the support of both the Humanistic Olympics Study Center in Beijing, and China State Administration of Radio, Film and TV.
