3.2 SMIL 2.0 Copy of the specification on the CD Knowledge of it not essential Official W3C reference is: REC-smil20-20010807 Much larger and complex document Provide an XML based language for authoring Permit reuse of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages Defined as a set of 10 modules Small syntax changes from SMIL 1.0 Drops hyphenated values Uses camel case for attribute names SMIL 2.0 clients are expect to support legacy SMIL 1.0 Two major branches to implementations of the language Host Language that includes the Structure Module and SMIL Namespace SMIL 2.0 Language Profile (RealONE, GRiNS) SMIL 2.0 Basic Profile (MMS and portable devices) Integration Set Integration of language modules into another XML based language - XHTML XHTML+TIME Internet Explorer v5.5 and v6

Copy of the specification on the CD

Knowledge of it not essential

Official W3C reference is:

REC-smil20-20010807

Much larger and complex document

Provide an XML based language for authoring

Permit reuse of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages

Defined as a set of 10 modules

Small syntax changes from SMIL 1.0

Drops hyphenated values

Uses camel case for attribute names

SMIL 2.0 clients are expect to support legacy SMIL 1.0

Two major branches to implementations of the language

Host Language that includes the Structure Module and SMIL Namespace

SMIL 2.0 Language Profile (RealONE, GRiNS)

SMIL 2.0 Basic Profile (MMS and portable devices)

Integration Set

Integration of language modules into another XML based language - XHTML

XHTML+TIME

Internet Explorer v5.5 and v6

3.3 SMIL 2.0 Language Modules The 10 modules are: Animation Content Control Layout Linking Media Objects Metainformation Structure Timing and Synchronisation Time Manipulation Transitions Each modules may itself be modular Animation Module BasicAnimation Module SplineAnimation Module An XML application remember!

The 10 modules are:

Animation

Content Control

Layout

Linking

Media Objects

Metainformation

Structure

Timing and Synchronisation

Time Manipulation

Transitions

Each modules may itself be modular

Animation Module

BasicAnimation Module

SplineAnimation Module

An XML application remember!

3.4 Review Two SMIL specifications SMIL 1.0 from 1998 SMIL 2.0 from 2001 SMIL 2.0 Specification is large XML application Organised into 10 functional areas (modules) Each module has its own sub-modules Language Profile is a combination of modules Two types of Language Profile Host Language implementations Integration Set implementations

Two SMIL specifications

SMIL 1.0 from 1998

SMIL 2.0 from 2001

SMIL 2.0 Specification is large

XML application

Organised into 10 functional areas (modules)

Each module has its own sub-modules

Language Profile is a combination of modules

Two types of Language Profile

Host Language implementations

Integration Set implementations
