Description | Includes bibliographical references. Conventional multimedia productions display a Sequence of frames to the user in a linear or non-linear way depending on user interactions. Each frame consists of a fixed set of information through the incorporation of media elements embedded within the frames. Such a traditional framework however fail to meet many of the modern day requirements like need for frequent content updation, customizing the presentation according to user requirements, transmitting the presentation over low bandwidth networks and supporting distributed media components. This paper has been inspired by the lack of tools to solve all of these challenging problems. It aims at introducing a new framework in Structuring multimedia presentations by moving the focus from the concept of frames to the concept of objects. By representing a multimedia presentation as a set of meaningful objects, each associated with its own spatiotemporal parameters, it becomes possible to customize presentations as per specific user needs and introduce functionalities like content searching, which can benefit application areas like distance learning. The paper also discusses issues related to playback of such a presentation over a distributed environment. Moreover it is seen that such frameworks can be made to Support and utilize emerging standards like MPEG-4, MPEG-7 and MPEG-21. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
