Abstract

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a method for generating an annotation for media content, that includes retrieving a media content subset from a media content source, saving the received media content subset at a computing system, and generating an annotation for association with the media content subset using the computing system. The method further includes associating the annotation with media content to facilitate the visualization and navigation of the media content and adding the annotation to at least one annotation repository designed for efficient retrieval of annotation elements.
