With the increase of online resources, one main challenge for multimedia content providers is to provide efficient and user friendly tools for a deep and shallow navigation adapted to large scale audiovisual content. This paper describes a generic framework to build visual interactive applications the objectives of which are to enhance the understanding and to allow easy access to multimedia resources and management. Visual Maps are built on multi-modal similarity matrices computed from automatically extracted descriptors and use graph clustering and layout methods. Active relevance feedback methods are applied to allow users to control the maps evolution according to their needs. The First results of users' evaluation are presented for one of our tools.
