A system is provided for integrative analysis of intrinsic and extrinsic audio­visual information, such as a system for analysis and correlation of features in a film with features not present in the film but available through the Internet. The system comprises an intrinsic content analyser communicatively connected to an audio-visual source, e.g. a film source, for searching the film for intrinsic data and extracting the intrinsic data using an extraction algorithm. Further, the system comprises an extrinsic content analyser communicatively connected to an extrinsic information source, such as a film screenplay available through the Internet, for searching the extrinsic information source and retrieving extrinsic data using a retrieval algorithm. The intrinsic data and the extrinsic data are correlated in a multisource data structure. The multisource data structure being transformed into high-level information structure which is presented to a user of the system. The user may browse the high-level information structure for such information as the actor identification in a film.
