Browsing and querying multimedia report collections

In this paper a system and new methodologies that enable efficient exploration of distributed collections of multimedia reports are described. A conceptual model for the report and a method to semi-automatically create a hypermedia report network have been defined. The main issues addressed in this project were to exploit the textual component of a report to give a more evident semantic meaning to the data produced during the relative exam and to provide users with new interaction paradigms based on Internet technologies.
