Abstract

This paper presents EDITEC, a graphical editor for hypermedia composite templates that can be used for authoring interactive TV programs. EDITEC templates are based on the XTemplate 3.0 language. EDITEC was designed for offering a user-friendly visual graphical approach. It provides several options for representing iteration structures and a graphical interface for creating basic XPath expressions. The editor provides a multiple-view environment, giving the user a complete control of the composite template during the authoring process. Composite templates can be used in NCL programs for embedding spatio-temporal semantics into NCL contexts. NCL is the standard declarative language used for the production of interactive applications in the Brazilian digital TV system and ITU H.761 IPTV services.
