A method for creating multimedia meeting minutes is disclosed. In an
embodiment, the method receives notations from a user. As each notation
is received, context information is recorded with the notation. The
context information is used to select pertinent portions of multimedia
information received concurrently with the notations. An association is
then created between the notation and each selected portion of the
multimedia information. These associations may be used to access the
selected portions of the multimedia information from the notations. The
notations and their respective associations are deposited for future
retrieval. The deposited notations may be revised by receiving an altered
copy of the notations from a user. The deposited notations are modified
in accordance with the altered copy.
