Abstract
ing Presentation Behavior Lynda Hardman, Dick C.A. Bulterman CWI We give a short description of the Amsterdam Hypermedia Model followed by examples of its use in a number of existing and planned applications. The main application to date has been as a basis of the multimedia authoring system, CMIFed, along with its ability to specify trade-offs for resource use. We discuss the model's potential for generating differing document formats, followed by future work on using it as a goal format for generating multimedia documents. 1 Introduction We have developed the Amsterdam Hypermedia Model (AHM) to describe sufficient complexity of a multimedia presentation and its interactions with the user so that the essence of the presentation can be preserved from one platform to another. This includes specifications of the media items (atomic pieces of multimedia data) used, the temporal relations among the items, layout of the items and possible user interaction. The model was developed to provi...
