Abstract: A computer-controlled method of capturing and structuring information from a meeting. Audio data is captured from a meeting with a microphone and stored. Information timestamps are stored indicating a time corresponding to a speaker utterance in the audio data. A diagram is generated and stored in accordance with a series of diagram inputs received from a human operator via an input device, the diagram having a plurality of nodes connected by links and each diagram input either creating, editing or deleting an associated one of the nodes or links. The diagram is displayed on a display device, the displayed diagram changing in response to the diagram inputs so that it has a plurality of intermediate forms during the meeting phase and a final form at the end of the meeting phase. One or more event timestamps are stored for each node or link, each event timestamp indicating a time of receipt of a diagram input which creates, edits or deletes the node or link.
