Abstract

In this paper, we present a method for authoring generic and adaptable multimedia presentations. This method relies on document transformations. For the currently available tools, designing the XML content and the transformation sheets is a tedious and error prone experience. We propose a framework based on an incremental transformation process. Incremental transformation processors represent a better alternative to help in the design of both the content and the transformation sheets. We believe that such authoring tools are a first step toward fully interactive transformation-based authoring environments. In this paper, we focus on the authoring of transformation sheets by direct manipulation. In particular, we study the authoring of transformations for the XSLT language defined at the World Wide Web Consortium.
