    Abstract
    Describes an object-oriented model for paper-based multimedia documents such as textbook with embedded graphics. This model is the 1st step towards building a manageable authoring system for the Web, in which documents can be easily built, extended, truncated, reordered, assembled and disassembled on a computer basis, and the document components, can be reused. The model will also make accessible properties, which might be significant or important to the user, especially in searching or classifying documents, such as the document title and author. Explains the model design and presents the class hierarchy for the model

    Abstract
    Dealing with some of the effects of multimedia for those involved in the conventional publishing chain. Among the aspects dealt with are the rival formats for distribution and playback; how publishers are apporaching multimedia, and software companies approaching publishing; multimedia music; ownership copyright; and networking implications. Notes the role of SuperJANET in the UK in the area of multimedia networking, and the prospect of publishers beginning to use networks as a way of publishing and distributing their products

    Abstract
    Describes the work of the Working Group 8 of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 subcommittee 18 (JTC1/SC18/WG8) which is developing information technology standards for use in text and Office systems. In 1986 the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) was introduced as one of the key standards in developing systems for open information interchange. In Nov 92 the Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language (HyTime) detailed in ISO 10744 was introduced for the interchange of multimedia and hypermedia. They are currently working on a Standard Multimedia Scripting Language (SMSL) which will enable system developers to interchange multimedia scripts, probably using the UK developed Architecture Neutral Distribution Format (ANDF)

    Discusses the features of multimedia products and those features which allow interaction, and considers the key differences between home and work use of information CD-ROMs. Sets out the criteria for the evaluation of products that are likely to contribute to the overall evaluation. These include: the information itself; methods of access; output of information; the quality and appropriateness of the media objects presented; interactive features; aesthetics and creativity; and performance, reliability and robustness

    Abstract
    The convergence of different fields, regrouping computer networks, multimedia, hypertext and new powerful software interfaces bring fresh approaches to the production, cataloguing and access of electronic documents. Hypertext organization brings the possibility of reading the document or navigating in a non-linear fashion. This will fundamentally alter reading, writing and publishing in future generations

    Abstract
    This paper describes future publishing trends in terms of seven key words: convergence, multimedia, spatial, customised publishing, portability, networks and intelligence. The discussion of each of these buzz words in turn provides seven different perspectives from which to examine the various technologies, attitudes and innovations which are currently transforming publishing activity

    Abstract
    Examines 2 European Commission projects starting in Dec 95 aimed at managing access and protection for intellectual property. The Intellectual Multimedia Property Rights Model and Terminology for Universal References (IMPRIMATUR) project involves 16 partners with a network server in Italy. The Coordinating Project for Electronic Authors' Right Management Systems (COPEARMS) aims to develop the copyright in Transmitted Electronic Documents (CITED) work. Two other projects are also described: Copyright Ownership Protection in Computer Assisted Training (COPICAT) and MultiMedia Education System for Librarians Introducing Remote Interactive Processing of Electronic Documents (MURIEL)

    Abstract
    Advocates the use of SGML technology for the creation, dissemination and display of WWW documents. Presents a software architecture that allows for defining the opertaional interpretation of arbitrary document types by means of style sheets written in a scripting language. This approach has been motivated by the desire to extend the functionality of the WWW with support for multimedia and active documents. Provides a brief introduction to SGML and illustrates how the approach outlined accomodates extensions of HTML as well as SGML documents containing multimedia data such as video and audio. Briefly sketches the software components used and discusses some topics for further research

    Abstract
    Reviews the current state of the art in the field of electronic publishing of periodical articles in full text, with particular reference to the experiences of Elsevier Science. Distinguishes between 4 types of full text electronic publishing: bibliographic data, for example CAPCAS, with SGML type electronic bibliographic records for articles in Elsevier journals; electronic access to an existing periodical on a single title basis, similar to the way in which Elsevier provides access to articles in the well established printed periodical Nuclear Physics; enhancement of an existing periodical through expanded hypertext links, in the same way that Immunology Today Online is provided with value added features impossible to emulate in a printed periodical; and the TULIP model, an Elsevier initiative which enables large scale full text document delivery of electronic periodicals via unedited ASCII full text created by OCR and cover to cover 300 dpi bitmapped page images. Pays tribute to other initiatives in the field, including: document delivery services such as UnCover and the British Library's Inside Information; Digital Libraries Initiative; Informedia Digital Video Library Project; Stanford Integrated Digital Library Project; California University at Berkeley Digital Library Project and Alexandria Digital Library Project. Discusses the future of the information and publishing industries in the light of these developments, noting the implications and problems likely to be encountered and the opportunities for new, multimedia publications

    Abstract
    Today many large organizations and corporations - particularly those in the services sector - are opting to supplement traditional media coverage by publishing their own objective informational material, including periodicals, for select audiences. The early adopters here, in fact, are already employing newly available digital channels like the Internet and CD-ROM for this purpose - with the innovators among them looking to interactive multimedia technologies to fuel the next state in this self-publishing revolution. Surveys electronic publishing on the Internet today and describes several practical initiatives that suggests how high bandwidth internetworking is likely to be used in the future for multimedia database publishing. Offers suggestions as well on the operational significance that these developments may hold for organizations that depend on information from electronic and online sources
