Design of multimedia semantic presentation templates: options, problems and criteria of use

ABSTRACT

This paper presents and discusses the use of Semantic Multimedia Presentation Templates which capture presentation structures that are suitable for communicating semantic data relationships occurring across many applications. The identification of the space of the possible presentation templates along with criteria to evaluate them that depend on the current task, data cardinality and other aspects, is very useful for supporting the automatic generation of effective query result multimedia presentations.
