Abstract:

This document aims at describing main issues in the area of structured
multimedia documents. Documents can be modelled through four main dimensions
(logical, hypermedia, spatial and temporal) and will be illustrated by the
main corresponding standards (SGML/XML, HTML, CSS, DSSSL/XSL, SMIL).
Building authoring tools that are capable to deal with these dimensions (and
specially the temporal one) is still a great challenge. We describe some authoring
applications and develop temporal aspects of documents through the analysis of new specification and authoring needs required for handling multimedia documents.
