Columbia digital news project: an environment for briefing and search over multimedia information

Abstract. In this paper we describe an ongoing research project called the Columbia Digital News Project. The goal of this project is to develop a suite of effective interoperable tools with which people can find relevant information (text, images, video, and structured documents) from distributed sources and track it over a period of time. Our initial focus is on the development of a system with which researchers, journalists, and students can keep track of current news events in specific areas.
