Claim One:
1. An apparatus for linking an original representation including text and a realization of the representation in non-text form, comprising: a structural analyzer adapted for separating a plain representation and structural information pertaining to structure of the contents of said text from the representation; a temporal analyzer adapted for generating a time-stamped first representation from the realization; a time aligner adapted for creating a time-stamped aligned representation by aligning the plain representation and the time-stamped first representation; a link generator adapted for creating hyper links between elements of the original representation and the realization by combining the aligned representation and the structural information; a first converter adapted for converting the original representation from any native data format to an operating data format for representations, and a second converter adapted for converting the realization from any native data format to an operating data format for realizations, wherein the first converter is connected to the structural analyzer, and the second converter is connected to the temporal analyzer.
