Abstract

This paper describes audio and video extensions to graphical user interface (GUI) toolkits for multimedia systems. These extensions are based on a new object-oriented model for handling multimedia data. The introduction of “temporal glue”, and a mechanism for constructing composite multimedia data hierarchically in the model, make it quite easy to edit and reuse composite multimedia data. Programs created on the basis of this model are versatile in the range of their potential application and highly adaptable to changes in hardware. The model can help answer the need for toolkits that will ease the development of multimedia systems and the editing of multimedia data.
