Structuring Language (HyTime)

What is HyTime?

HyTime is a way to represent hypertext, multimedia, hypermedia, and time-based documents in a standard format

HyTime is a markup language that extends Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)



Misconceptions of HyTime

HyTime is not an application program

HyTime is not a document architecture



More Information about HyTime

HyTime provides standards for specifying interconnections within or between documents and other information objects.

HyTime also provides standards for scheduling multimedia information in time and space.

Why are these functionalities important?



HyTime Modules

Base module Location address module Hyperlink module Scheduling module Rendition module



Benefits of HyTime

HyTime is a hypermedia representation standard that is application independent

HyTime is an international standard HyTime can aid in tying repositories of

documents together



Limitations/Drawbacks of HyTime

Lack of products that support SGML/HyTime

Lack of built in “default” structure Rendering can be problematic



Real Applications of HyTime

Defense sector – the Department of Defense use for Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs)

Corporate use – the Pinnacles Initiative and corporate internal use

Standard Music Description Language (SMDL)



Example using HyTime



Conclusion
