Compendium for indexing online meetings

What do you get if you use Compendium to map video conferences over the net, and you can hit "Record"? The answer is the Meeting Memory environment being built in the Memetic Project.
The following paper will be presented in Provence in May to the COOP conference, whose special theme - "seamless integration of artefacts and conversations - enhanced concepts of infrastructure for communication" - matches the Memetic Project's work perfectly...
Memetic: An Infrastructure for Meeting Memory
This paper introduces the Memetic toolkit for recording the normally ephemeral interactions conducted via internet video conferencing, and making these navigable and manipulable in linear and non-linear ways. We introduce two complementary interaction visualizations: argumentation-based concept maps to elucidate the conceptual structure of the discourse using a visual language, and interactive event timelines generated from the meeting metadata. We discuss in detail the affordances of Memetic's tools, in particular the Compendium hypermedia mapping tool, and the Meeting Replay tool that renders the semantic navigation indices into the videoconference replays. Additionally, with respect to methodology and evaluation, we describe how we are engaging diverse end-user communities in the process of designing and deploying these tools.
