Abstract

Multimedia authoring does not consist solely of the specification of the temporal and spatial layout of a document. Application specific concepts (e.g. for computer based training) or animation effects (e.g. moving media items) are often required by authors. Existing multimedia authoring tools support only one specific concept for the temporal specification, spatial specification and interaction. This paper presents research results for an extensible multimedia system called MAVA (MultimediA document Versatile Architecture). It allows to integrate new and alternative concepts for multimedia documents. MAVA uses an operator based approach as meta document model, what means that all extensions will define concrete operators that will be used by authors.
