Abstract
An improved solution for managing a meeting. In particular, a meeting document is constructed in a hierarchical manner. Before the meeting, the meeting document can assist in planning the meeting by including a set of agenda items for the meeting and/or a list of participants. During the meeting, the meeting document can be used to conduct the meeting, generate minutes for the meeting, and/or index a log of the meeting. After the meeting, the meeting document can be stored for future reference.
