The research project MAVA (Multimedia Document Versatile
Architecture) focuses on simplification of specification and
dissemination of multimedia documents. The problems discussed and
solved by the MAVA approach are observed by using existing authoring
systems. Application specific multimedia systems provide fixed
concepts for only one application area. Generic systems allow the
specification of documents of arbitrary application areas. This
leads to complex specifications and the requirement of programming
skills for authors. Goal of the MAVA approach is to simplify
authoring of multimedia documents in different application areas by
an extensible specification language. This allows to add new
language elements for particular application areas to simplify
authoring. While the extension with new media types is addressed by
several approaches the MAVA approach considers also the extension
for new particular application areas. Document dissemination plays
also an important role. For the presentation of a document basing on
arbitrary language extensions also the presentation system itself
has to be dynamically extended over the Internet.
