Abstract

This paper presents a system that exploits the benefits of modelling multimedia presentations as structured documents within the context of interactive digital television systems. Our work permits end-users to easily enrich multimedia content at viewing time (e.g., add images and delete scenes). Because the document is structured, the system can expose to the user the possible enrichment alternatives depending on the current state of the presentation (e.g., current story). Moreover, because the base content is wrapped as a structured document, the enrichments can be modelled as overlying layers that do not alter the original content. Finally, the user can share the enriched content (or parts of it) to specific peers within a P2P network.
