What is Multimedia?
When different people mention the term multimedia, they often have quite different, or even opposing, viewpoints.
A PC vendor: a PC that has sound capability, a DVD-ROM drive, and perhaps the superiority of multimedia-enabled microprocessors that understand additional multimedia instructions.
A consumer entertainment vendor: interactive cable TV with hundreds of digital channels available, or a cable TV-like service delivered over a high-speed Internet connection.
A Computer Science (CS) student: applications that use multiple modalities, including text, images, drawings (graphics), animation, video, sound including speech, and interactivity.
World Wide Web (WWW)
WWW is the largest and most commonly used hypermedia application.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP): is a protocol that was originally designed for transmitting hypermedia, but it also supports transmission of any file type.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML): is a language for publishing hypermedia on the WWW.
Extensible Markup Language (XML): there is a need for a markup language for WWW that has modularity of data, structure, and view.
XML Specifications
XML Protocol: used to exchange XML information between processes.
XML Schema: A more structured and powerful language for defining XML data types (tags). Unlike DTD.
XSL (XML Style sheet) : This is basically CSS for XML.
SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia integrated language pronounced “smile”):This is a particular application of XML that permits specifying temporally scripted interaction among any media types and user input.
