This article will propose to consider static documents as structured and thematic vectors towards multimedia archives and as a tool for structuring events such as meetings or conferences recordings. A method for bridging the gap between static documents and multimedia data, such as audio and video, will be presented. First, a brief state-of-the-art of existing meeting/conference/class room projects will be presented. Secondly, a document-centric meeting and a conference recording environments will be described. Then, a document analysis tool, which builds a multi-layered representation of static documents and creates indexes further used for the document temporal alignment will be introduced. This document temporal alignment will be presented as a method for building a bridge between static documents and multimedia meeting/conference archives. Furthermore, two temporal alignments, i.e. document/speech and document/video alignment methods, will be detailed. Finally, a document-enabled multimedia browsing system, putting all the alignments together, will be described along with a preliminary user evaluation.
