Enhancing a Multimedia Presentation System with Object-based Knowledge Representation

This paper deals with the coupling of AROM, an objectbased knowledge representation with V-STORM, a multimedia presentation system. We propose an AROM knowledge base which constitutes a generic model for multimedia presentations. Notably, by instantiating this knowledge base, a corresponding SMIL file can be exhibited and parsed by V-STORM in order to be played. This coupling shows to be relevant for two reasons: first, by its UML-like formalism, AROM eases the task of a multimedia presentation author; second, AROM is put in charge of checking the spatial and temporal consistencies of the presentation during its description. This way, a consistent presentation is sent to V-STORM.
