“…In the literature, several tools for media authoring have been proposed, see for a detailed review [16]. In general, the authoring tools for media annotation range from professional tools to broadcast annotations with videos for Video on Demand (VOD) distribution, to web TV such as 4oD (Channel 4's download service), BBC i-player, Sky+.…”

There are several education and training cases where multi-camera view is a traditional way to work: performing arts and news, medical surgical actions, sport actions, instruments playing, speech training, etc. In most cases, users need to interact with multi camera and multi audiovisual to create among audiovisual segments their own relations and annotations with the purpose of: comparing actions, gesture and posture; explaining actions; providing alternatives, etc. Most of the present solutions are based on custom players and/or specific applications which force to create custom streams from server side, thus leading to restrictions on the user activity as to establishing dynamically additional relations. Web based solutions would be more appreciated and are complex to be realized for the problems related to the video desynchronization. In this paper, MyStoryPlayer/ECLAP solution is presented. The major contributions to the state of the art are related to: (i) the semantic model to formalize the relationships and play among audiovisual determining synchronizations, (ii) the model and modality to save and share user experiences in navigating among lessons including several related and connected audiovisual, (iii) the design and development of algorithm to shorten the production of relationships among media, (iv) the design and development of the whole system including its user interaction model, and (v) the solution and algorithm to keep the desynchronizations limited among media in the event of low network bandwidth. The proposed solution has been developed for and it is in use within ECLAP (European Collected Library of Performing Arts) for accessing and commenting performing arts training content. The paper also reports validation results about performance assessment and tuning, and about the usage of tools on ECLAP services. In ECLAP, users may navigate in the audiovisual relationships, thus creating and sharing experience paths. The resulting solution includes a uniform semantic model, a corresponding semantic database for the knowledge, a distribution server for semantic knowledge and media, and the MyStoryPlayer Client for web applications.

There is an increasing demand for high-quality interactive applications which combine complex application logic with a sophisticated user interface, making use of individual media objects like graphics, animations, 3D graphics, audio or video. Their development is still challenging as it requires the integration of software design, user interface design, and media design. This chapter presents a model-driven development approach which integrates these aspects. Its basis is the Multimedia Modeling Language (MML), which integrates existing modeling concepts for interactive applications and adds support for multimedia. As we show, advanced multimedia integration requires new modeling concepts not supported by existing languages yet. MML models can be transformed into code skeletons for multiple target platforms. Moreover, we support the integration of existing professional multimedia authoring tools into the development process by generating code skeletons which can be directly processed in authoring tools. In this way the advantages of both -systematic model-driven development and support for creative visual design -are combined.---------

“…For instance, the definition of a multimedia document specification given in [14] restricts content production to structured documents to enable automated high-level transformations: "A multimedia document specification s={O,C} is made of a set of multimedia objects O and a set of constraints C between these objects". In this paper, we do not necessarily rely on such structured documents as defined in [7]. Instead, we propose adaptable authoring techniques that also take into account advanced multimedia scenes (such as SVG [1], BIFS [11] or Flash 1 ) where the spatial, temporal and interactive properties of a presentation are essential and allow content creators to carefully design their presentations.…”

With the diversity of usage conditions affecting the consumption of multimedia content, the adaptation of dynamic and interactive multimedia presentations is essential. The challenge consists in allowing a multimedia presentation to adapt in all its dimensions: spatially, temporally and interactively, without lessening its attractiveness and still giving the author the control over adapted versions. Additionally, the authoring of adaptable content should not increase the complexity of authoring. To address this challenge, we propose to transpose the concept of scalability to the world of multimedia documents by introducing the so-called Scalable MSTI model. In this paper, we show the properties of this model and how, from an authoring point of view, scalable multimedia documents can be created to address a wide range of usage conditions.
