Exploring the Structure of Media Stream Interactions for Multimedia Browsing

Abstract. This paper presents an approach to the issue of adding structure to recordings of collaborative meetings supported by an audio channel and a shared text editor. The virtual meeting environment used is capable of capturing and broadcasting speech, gestures and editing operations in real-time, so recording results in continuous multimedia data. We describe the implementation of a browser which explores simple linkage patterns between these media to support information retrieval through non-linear browsing, and discuss audio segmentation issues arising from this approach.
