Multimedia Authoring

In cooperation with EPFL (Lausanne) we pursue our research on template-driven editing for XML multimedia contents (see section  3.3.2 ). Experiments with very different types of contents have been done with the AXEL library. AXEL is developed by EPFL, based on our joint work on template languages. It is an innovative multi-purpose client-side authoring framework intended for web users with limited skills.

We have addressed the issue of authoring XML multimedia content on the web, focusing on methods that apply to such contents as structured documents, factual data, and multimedia objects [2] . We have shown that a template-based approach enhances the ability for multiple applications to use the produced content.
