Seminar Series: Technology Trends 2004
The Continuous Media Web
Silvia Pfeiffer, CSIRO
Searching and surfing the Web has become the main means of
interacting with textual information to gain knowledge. Multimedia
documents, however information-rich, are still not integrated into
these knowledge-building activities. The Continuous Media Web
project has developed a technology to extend the Web to
time-continuously sampled data enabling seamless searching and
surfing with existing Web tools. This talk discusses requirements
for such an extension of the Web, contrasts existing technologies
and presents the developed solutions, which have been submitted to
the IETF for standardisation.
