Abstract

The STAMP model addresses the dynamic generation of multimedia presentations in the domain of Multimedia Web-based Information Systems. STAMP allows the presentation of multimedia data obtained from XML compatible data sources by means of query. Assuming that the size and the nature of the elements of information provided by a data source is not known a priori, STAMP proposes templates which describe the spatial, temporal, navigational structuration of multimedia presentations whose content varies. The instantiation of a template is done with respect to the set of spatial and temporal constraints associated with the delivery context. A set of adaptations preserving the initial intention of the presentation is proposed.
