Advances in Semantic Media Adaptation and Personalization, 93 (8), Springer, pp.157-176, 2008 Summary. The multiplication of presentation contexts (such as mobile phones, PDAs) for multimedia documents requires the adaptation of document specifications. In an earlier work, a semantic approach for multimedia document adaptation was proposed. This framework deals with the semantics of the document composition by transforming the relations between multimedia objects. In this chapter, we apply the defined framework to the hypermedia dimension of documents, i.e., hypermedia links between multimedia objects. By considering hypermedia links as particular objects of the document, we adapt the hypermedia dimension with the temporal dimension. However, due to the non-deterministic character of the hypermedia structure, the document is organized in several loosely dependent sub-specifications. To preserve the adaptation framework, we propose a first straightforward strategy that consists of adapting all sub-specifications generated by the hypermedia structure. Nevertheless, this strategy has several drawbacks, e.g., the profile is not able to change between user interactions. Hence, we propose an incremental approach which adapts document sub-specifications step by step according to these interactions. To validate this framework, we adapt real standard multimedia documents such as SMIL documents.

Qualitative representation and reasoning ; SMIL documentsInternational audienceThe multiplication of presentation contexts (such as mobile phones, PDAs) for multimedia documents requires the adaptation of document specifications. In an earlier work, a semantic framework for multimedia document adaptation was proposed. This framework deals with the semantics of the document composition by transforming the relations between multimedia objects. However, it was lacking the capability of suppressing multimedia objects. In this paper, we extend the proposed adaptation with this capability. Thanks to this extension, we present a method for summarizing multimedia documents. Moreover, when multimedia objects are removed, the resulted document satisfies some properties such as presentation contiguity. To validate our framework, we adapt standard multimedia documents such as SMIL documents

“…In our example, a text-based formatter might insert a page break between the image and the caption, which would not yield the intended layout because it destroys the perceived relationship between the image and its caption. Fortunately, many other methods for higher level layout of media items have been proposed in the literature, such as the constraint-based multimedia layout of Madeus [14] and the constraint-based layout of SVG graphics described in [4]. In our multimedia formatting vocabulary, it is possible to layout media items using similar techniques (more details will follow in section 4).…”

“…Many descriptions of constraint-based multimedia presentations have been reported in the literature, including André's work on constraints generated by a planning system [1,2,3] and the constraints generated by the Madeus authoring system [14]. In our approach, a large majority of the constraints remain hidden from the transformation rules because they are automatically generated by the implementation of the formatting objects [11,18].…”

C e n t r u m v o o r W i s k u n d e e n I n f o r m a t i c a INS Information Systems INformation SystemsTowards a multimedia formatting vocabulary J.R. van ABSTRACTTime-based, media-centric Web presentations can be described declaratively in the XML world through the development of languages such as SMIL. It is difficult, however, to fully integrate them in a complete document transformation processing chain. In order to achieve the desired processing of data-driven, time-based, mediacentric presentations, the text-flow based formatting vocabularies used by style languages such as XSL, CSS and DSSSL need to be extended. The paper presents a selection of use cases which are used to derive a list of requirements for a multimedia style and transformation formatting vocabulary. The boundaries of applicability of existing text-based formatting models for media-centric transformations are analyzed. The paper then discusses the advantages and disadvantages of a fully-fledged time-based multimedia formatting model. Finally, the discussion is illustrated by describing the key properties of the example multimedia formatting vocabulary currently implemented in the back-end of our Cuypers multimedia transformation engine.
