Abstract

Multimedia documents differ significantly from traditional documents, which are composed of text and possibly geometric graphics. The inclusion of continuous media such as audio and video imposes new requirements on document representation. The MEDIADOC model supports the creation of multimedia documents by means of a logical structure, a layout structure, and a rendering scenario that is a schedule for document playback. Special document creation tools are also required to facilitate the potentially complicated nature of multimedia document design. In this paper we will provide a description of the MEDIADOC model including a discussion of hierarchical structures, rendering scenarios, and multimedia document creation tools.
