Abstract

A system for aggregation and organization of multimedia data acquired from a plurality of sources can include a data collection element, a multimedia segmentation element, a memory, an extraction element, and a user interface. The data collection element can be configured to receive multimedia data. The multimedia segmentation element can be coupled to the data collection element and can be configured to separate the multimedia data into a plurality of multimedia data segments. The memory can be configured to store hierarchical category information having a plurality of categories. The extraction element can be coupled to the multimedia segmentation element and the memory and can be configured to associate at least one of the plurality of categories with each of the plurality of multimedia data segments.
