“…Meetings are recorded through a lightweight collaborative writing environment which can easily be installed on a personal computer and which was specially designed to capture editing activities [7]. Temporal information from the logs of actions captured on selfcontained information items (paragraphs of text) is used to uncover potential information links between these semantic data units.…”

Meeting, to discuss and share information, take decisions and allocate tasks, is a central aspect of human activity. Computer mediated communication offers enhanced possibilities for synchronous collaboration by allowing seamless capture of meetings, thus relieving participants from time-consuming documentation tasks. However, in order for meeting systems to be truly effective, they must allow users to efficiently navigate and retrieve information of interest from recorded meetings. In this article, we review the state of the art in multimedia segmentation, indexing and browsing techniques and show how existing meeting browser systems build on these techniques and integrate various modalities to meet their users' information needs.

“…The timestamps contain the name of the agent who performed the operation, the start and end time of the operation, and the nature of the operation, such as Edit, Insert, Point, Paste, Cut and Gesture (telepointing and free hand drawing). A detailed description of the timestamping model designed to manage paragraph history in case of modifications to document structure can be found in [11]. A second set of action timestamps accurately describe the content of all operations performed (Fig.…”

Abstract. We present Meeting Miner, a multimodal meeting browser for navigating recordings of online text and speech collaborative meetings. Meetings are recorded through a collaborative writing environment specially designed to capture participants activities. This information, usually lost in common recordings of multimodal meetings, offers novel possibilities for indexing, navigation and information retrieval in archived meetings. Meeting Miner uses temporal information from the logs of actions captured on self-contained information items (paragraphs of text) to uncover potential information links between these semantic data units. A novel space-based action navigation scheme is presented. Keywords and topic search as well as more advanced queries can be performed by the system. We illustrate the system navigation modalities with several browsing examples.
