Abstract
Techniques for identifying and viewing information items within an organization comprising a plurality of users each having one or more roles within the organization is disclosed. The disclosed techniques provide systems and methods for implementing and using a 'skim preview' technique for previewing information items. This technique can be applied to a wide variety of information, such as presentations, documents, video, images, and so on and can be used for a variety of applications, including browsing, searching, discovery, and so on. The system can compute sequences that represent interesting visual aspects of the item being viewed. This can be applied to items that do not have a natural set of preview images, or it might be used as an alternative to the natural previews. The preview images may be sequenced chronologically, by importance, or based on any other metric.
