Abstract

Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) is a recommendation developed by the Synchronized Multimedia Working Group in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). SMIL is a simple and standard way to specify a timeline based synchronized multimedia presentation over the Internet. It is a declarative authoring language based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) to define language-specific data types and tags. Since it is based on XML, it can be included in XML based catalog and data interchange in order to provide multimedia presentations. Instead of using a proprietary multimedia document types, SMIL elements are standard based way to include them. We discuss different ways to include multimedia presentations to Web based catalog. We also describe a component based SMIL player written in Java. Different components can put together to create a multimedia player. The player can run on major web browsers as a Java applet.
