Claim One:
1. An information system, comprising: a first processing device coupled to a persistent storage device, said persistent storage device adapted to store linking software, a video file and a scanned document; the video file comprising a plurality of segments, each segment including at least one video frame; wherein the scanned document is a digital representation of a physical document, wherein the scanned document is referenced by the video file; wherein the linking software performs a transform on the scanned document and a plurality of video frames; the linking software performs an orthonormal transform on the scanned document and the plurality of video frames; wherein the scanned document comprises an image and a bounding box around said image, wherein the bounding box is reduced until all margins having a uniform color are removed before the transform is performed on the scanned document and the plurality of video frames; wherein least significant information is removed from at least the transformed document before the transformed document is compared to the transformed video frames, wherein a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is used to compare the scanned document to the plurality of video frames; and wherein the linking software creates a link between the scanned document and a segment of the video file in which the scanned document is referenced of a video file responsive to a comparison of the transformed scanned document and the transformed video frames.
