“…• Scriptability: Whatever the level of declarativeness of a language, it is important to be able to go beyond the limitations of the language by using scripts that extend its capabilities in some particular situations (this requirement has been highlighted by [14]). …”

“…• SMIL State [8] and its variant for NCL [14] aim at providing variables inside the declarative time structure (as defined by SMIL or NCL) to cope with the need for controlling document playback, but the resulting syntax is a bit verbose and requires a specific SMIL implementation. Besides, it still cannot be extended to more complex imperative scenarios (e.g.…”

In this paper, we explore different ways to publish multimedia documents on the web. We propose a solution that takes advantage of the new multimedia features of web standards, namely HTML5 and CSS3. While JavaScript is fine for handling timing, synchronization and user interaction in specific multimedia pages, we advocate a more generic, document-oriented alternative relying primarily on declarative standards: HTML5 and CSS3 complemented by SMIL Timesheets. This approach is made possible by a Timesheets scheduler that runs in the browser. Various applications based on this solution illustrate the paper, ranging from media annotations to web documentaries.

The Nested Context Language reuse features

NCL, the standard declarative language of the Brazilian Terrestrial Digital TV System and ITU-T Recommendation for IPTV Services, provides a high level of reuse in the design of hypermedia applications. In this paper we detail how its design and conceptual model have succeeded in supporting reuse at a declarative level. NCL supports not only static but also running code reuse. It also allows for reuse inside applications, reuse between applications, and reuse of code spans stored in external libraries. For a specification language to promote reuse, however, it must have a number of usability merits. Aspects of NCL usability are thus analyzed with the Cognitive Dimensions of Notation framework.

Editorial processWe solicited papers from a variety of research groups active in the area of interactive multimedia. After a rigorous reviewing process, in which each paper was reviewed multiple times by multiple reviewers, we selected seven for inclusion in this special issue. Selected papers on interactive multimediaThe seven papers selected discuss issues and present contributions related to managing and manipulating digital photographs, adapting multimedia content to mobile devices, and supporting interactive television.Ryu, Chung, and Cho's paper is titled "A Hierarchical Photo Visualization System Emphasizing Temporal and Color-based Coherences" and presents a novel user interface for visualizing photo collections. Their system presents photos on a grid that is organized both by the time at which the photos were taken and by color metrics, rather than using the more obvious graph presentation [5]. Groups of similar photos are represented on the grid by a Multimed Tools Appl
