International Journal on Digital Libraries Manuscript-nr. Columbia Digital News Project an Environment for Brieeng and Search over Multimedia Information

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 eeective interoperable tools with which people can nd 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 speciic areas.
