“…As an example, multiple videotaped talks such as the one of Figure 1 are published by ENS-Lyon. 12 A further step would be to introduce the features implemented by timesheets.js directly in the document languages of Figure 7. Most timing attributes are already part of the future SVG 2.0 language.…”

In this paper, we explore different ways to publish multimedia documents on the web. We propose a solution that takes advantage of the new multimedia features of web standards, namely HTML5 and CSS3. While JavaScript is fine for handling timing, synchronization and user interaction in specific multimedia pages, we advocate a more generic, document-oriented alternative relying primarily on declarative standards: HTML5 and CSS3 complemented by SMIL Timesheets. This approach is made possible by a Timesheets scheduler that runs in the browser. Various applications based on this solution illustrate the paper, ranging from media annotations to web documentaries.

“…In SMIL, the time dimension of a document is expressed by a hierarchy of temporal operators. Applications are run by players that interpret the declarative language and play the document (Ambulant [2], RealPlayer, X-Smiles [12]). …”

“…Thereby, a semantic layer is added to SMIL presentations. Pihkala and Vuorimaa describe "nine methods to extend SMIL for multimedia applications" (like, e.g., multimedia consoles) in Pihkala and Vuorimaa [2006]. Thereby, SMIL 2.0 is extended with "location information, tactile output, forms, telephoning, and scripting" [Pihkala and Vuorimaa 2006].…”

Hypervideos and interactive multimedia presentations allow the creation of fully interactive and enriched video. It is possible to organize video scenes in a nonlinear way. Additional information can be added to the video ranging from short descriptions to images and more videos. Hypervideos are video-based but also provide navigation between video scenes and additional multimedia elements. Interactive multimedia presentations consist of different media with a temporal and spatial synchronization that can be navigated via hyperlinks. Their creation and description requires description formats, multimedia models, and standardsas well as players. Specialized authoring tools with advanced editing functions allow authors to manage all media files, link and arrange them to an overall presentation, and keep an overview during the whole process. They considerably simplify the creation process compared to writing and editing description documents in simple text editors. Data formats need features that describe interactivity and nonlinear navigation while maintaining temporal and spatial synchronization. Players should be easy to use with extended feature sets keeping elements synchronized. In this article, we analyzed more than 400 papers for relevant work in this field. From the findings we discovered a set of trends and unsolved problems, and propose directions for future research.

“…This project includes not only the player but all the streaming technology from Realnetworks. RealPlayer also supports SMIL 2.0 language [1] that offers composition and interaction capabilities that surpass the ones offered by proprietary formats [13]. In [14] SMIL is proposed to encode peer-level annotations that allow dynamic expansion of multimedia presentations.…”

Authoring Multimedia Learning Material Using Open Standards and Free Software

Technological support to learning and teaching has become widespread due to computers and Internet ubiquity. Particularly e-learning platforms permit the any time and any place distribution of interactive multimedia learning materials. There are commercial tools available to author this kind of content, usually based on proprietary formats. This option has some drawbacks like license cost and software company dependency. To use open data standards and free software is an alternative without these inconveniences but available authoring tools are commonly less productive. This shortcoming is certainly important to non technical authors and it could be solved by open source collaboration. With this work we try to contribute to this endeavor in the case of synchronized multimedia presentations. Our proposal is based on SMIL as composition language particularly we reuse and customize the SMIL technical presentation template used in INRIA. We also propose a set of free tools to produce presentation content focusing on RealPlayer as delivery client.
