Why use HyTime?

چکیده
The Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language (HyTime) is a recently adopted International Standard (ISO/IEC 10744:1992). The paper presents the need and potential for HyTime, provides a brief explanation of its various facilities and shows how it may be applied to good effect in various situations, with particular reference to hypertext interchange from Microcosm (an open hypertext system). It then goes on to explore several alternatives to HyTime and compare their relative strengths and weaknesses.

Cooperative Use of MHEG and HyTime in Hypermedia Environments
The standards MHEG and HyTime are interchange formats for hypermedia information. While they may seem to compete, they actually can play separate and complementary roles in a complete and open hypermedia environment. MHEG is used for portable final-form hypermedia presentations. HyTime is used for the long-term, presentation-independent storage of hypermedia documents. Given these tasks, MHEG c...
متن کاملTemporal Relations in Multimedia Objects: WWW Presentation from HyTime Specification
The representation of temporal relations in multimedia objects is based on models of time that allow the identification and the specification of temporal relations among different media, particularly those relations relevant to the process of multimedia synchronization. Initially, this paper discusses the use of HyTime for the specification of binary temporal relations. Next, the paper discusse...
متن کاملSpecification of Temporal Constraints in Multimedia Documents using HyTime
Multimedia documents also include time dependent media like audio and video. In contrast to traditional text documents temporal constraints have to be determined that tell a presentation application when and for how long certain parts of the document have to be presented. The paper shows how temporal constraints may be specified with HyTime. An analysis of different approaches covering the spec...
متن کاملA HyTime-Compliant Interchange Format for CMIF Hypermedia Documents
A problem with storing hypermedia documents is that sufficient information needs to be captured and stored, in an application independent way, so that the documents can be played back—as they were originally intended—at some point in the future. In order to achieve this, not only do the media elements of a document need to be stored, but also the way in which the elements and their relationship...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Query Language for Structured Hypermedia Documents
Structured document query languages have been proposed for providing dynamic linking and composition behavior within hypermedia systems. HyTime (ISO 10744) defines a structured document query language called HyQ, but HyQ has received little attention by designers of hypermedia systems. We discuss and evaluate the use of HyQ for dynamic linking and virtual document structures. A series of HyQ ex...
