    How to represent a data in terms of multimedia?


    Hypertext
    basically meant to be read from beginning to end, a hyp
    ertext system is meant to be read nonlinearly, by follow
    ing links that point to other parts of the document, or in
    deed to other documents

    Hypermedia
    The concept of Hypertext has been extended to media s
    uch as WWW applications.
    HTTP: a protocol that was originally designed for trans
    mitting hypermedia, but it also supports transmission of
    any file type.
    HTML: a language for publishing hypermedia on the Wo
    rld Wide Web, which is defined using elements that des
    cribe generic document structure and formatting.

    at has modularity of data, structure and view.
    That is, we would like a user or an application to be abl
    e to define the tags (structure) allowed in a document a
    nd their relationship to each other, in one place.

    SMIL
    Multimedia representation includes many elements, that
    have content changing through time.
    Which requires scheduling and synchronization of differ
    ent multimedia elements by interactivity with users.
