An Export Architecture for a Multimedia Authoring Environment

architecture with the LimSee3 authoring tool and several standard publication

Multimedia Authoring for Communities of Teachers
One way of providing technological support for communities of teachers is to help participants to produce, structure and share information. As this information becomes more and more multimedia in nature, the challenge is to build multimedia authoring and publishing tools that meets requirements of the community.

The main idea is to provide template-based authoring tools while keeping rich composition capabilities and smooth adaptability. It is based on a component-oriented approach integrating homogeneously logical, time and spatial structures. Templates are defined as constraints on these structures
