1. A method for building a Event Kernel, comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of contemporaneous data streams describing physical conditions measured during an event, an acquisition rate of said acquiring governed by a heuristic taking as inputs at least one data point from at least one of the plurality of contemporaneous data streams and at least one measure of a limiting resource; and
storing the acquired data.

Abstract
Systems to manage the collection of multimedia and physical-sensor data automatically strike a balance between resources utilized to perform the collection, and the usefulness of the data recorded. The recorded data may be augmented with additional data or data streams, and the resulting dataset is automatically composited to produce an audience presentation focusing on selected aspects of the full dataset. The same source dataset may be composited differently to produce another presentation with a different purpose, theme or focus.

23. A method for uplifting data in a Event Kernel, comprising:
-
scanning through substantially all of a data stream of a Event Kernel containing a plurality of data streams representing contemporaneous physical measurements of a plurality of different conditions, said scanning occurring in substantially temporal order; obtaining a first insight about a first portion of the data stream of the Event Kernel during said scanning operation, said first insight based on contents of a subset of the plurality of data streams occurring before a time of the first portion; recording the first insight in the Event Kernel; repeating the scanning operation; obtaining a second insight about a second portion of the data stream of the Event Kernel during said repeated scanning operation, said second insight based on contents of a subset of the plurality of data streams occurring before a time of the second portion and before the time of the first portion; and recording the second insight in the Event Kernel. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)

27. A method for creating a presentation from a Event Kernel, comprising:
-
separating data points from a plurality of data streams of a Event Kernel into included and excluded sets; storing information to identify the included and excluded sets with the Event Kernel; and reproducing data points from the included set for display to an audience. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
