Document Specification and Dissemination with an Extensible Multimedia System

چکیده
The research project MAVA (Multimedia Document Versatile Architecture) focuses on simplification of specification and dissemination of multimedia documents. The problems discussed and solved by the MAVA approach are observed by using existing authoring systems. Application specific multimedia systems provide fixed concepts for only one application area. Generic systems allow the specification of documents of arbitrary application areas. This leads to complex specifications and the requirement of programming skills for authors. Goal of the MAVA approach is to simplify authoring of multimedia documents in different application areas by an extensible specification language. This allows to add new language elements for particular application areas to simplify authoring. While the extension with new media types is addressed by several approaches the MAVA approach considers also the extension for new particular

A Component-based Extensible Multimedia System
Applications and user interfaces contain more and more multimedia parts what leads to a disappearance of the separation between multimedia documents and multimedia applications. The expansion of the notion multimedia document to comprise application specific functionality leads to the requirement for an adequate model and specification language for multimedia presentations. An adequate model al...
متن کاملMultimedia Authoring with MAVA
Multimedia authoring is still subject to computer experts with programming knowledge. Most multimedia systems provide fixed concepts for the specification of the temporal and spatial layout of multimedia documents. Starting with interaction some approaches require script programming by authors. Special effects like animations, complex interactions or alternative concepts have to be programmed i...
متن کاملSpecification and Implementation of an Extensible Multimedia System
Multimedia authoring does not consist solely of the specification of the temporal and spatial layout of a document. Application specific concepts (e.g. for computer based training) or animation effects (e.g. moving media items) are often required by authors. Existing multimedia authoring tools support only one specific concept for the temporal specification, spatial specification and interactio...
متن کاملRealization of an Extensible Multimedia Document Model
Most multimedia systems or standards provide one fixed concept for the temporal and spatial specification of documents. But different application areas like computer based training or multimedia games require different (application specific) concepts to support and simplify authoring. It is a very complex or even impossible task to specify documents for different application areas based on the ...

The Scottish Computer Assisted Assessment Network (SCAAN) [1] was set up in early 1999 to promote the use of online assessment in higher education institutions throughout Scotland. Funded by the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council under its Webtools initiative, SCAAN is a collaboration between three universities: Glasgow, Heriot-Watt and Strathclyde. Each of these establishments is implem...
