Open hypermedia and temporal linking with audio streams
Open hypermedia and temporal linking with audio streams
Advances in inexpensive computer systems and the development of the World Wide Web (WWW) have revolutionised communication and information dissemination around the world. This has resulted in a rapid increase in the amount of published information, to the extent that many users find it difficult to navigate and retrieve this information over the Web.
Research communities have recognised this problem and have developed Open Hypermedia Systems (OHSs), to help manage and organise this information. These systems however have focused primarily on the visual domain, e.g. text and images, which is easier to manipulate. Most OHSs also store the link data in proprietary linkbase formats, which makes interoperability between systems difficult.
The WWW allows users to share and download different types of media, including text, graphics, audio and video. Streaming protocols have also been developed, to deliver media in real-time. This thesis describes the modifications that were made to an audio tool, used in an open hypermedia system, to support streams.
The thesis examines this streaming protocol in more detail and describes how it was extended to support temporal linking with audio streams, using the Fundamental Open Hypermedia Model (FOHM). The system developed is the first application of FOHM to stream media.

Abstract
Advances in inexpensive computer systems and the development of the World Wide Web (WWW) have revolutionised communication and information dissemination around the world. This has resulted in a rapid increase in the amount of published information, to the extent that many users find it difficult to navigate and retrieve this information over the Web.
Research communities have recognised this problem and have developed Open Hypermedia Systems (OHSs), to help manage and organise this information. These systems however have focused primarily on the visual domain, e.g. text and images, which is easier to manipulate. Most OHSs also store the link data in proprietary linkbase formats, which makes interoperability between systems difficult.
The WWW allows users to share and download different types of media, including text, graphics, audio and video. Streaming protocols have also been developed, to deliver media in real-time. This thesis describes the modifications that were made to an audio tool, used in an open hypermedia system, to support streams.
The thesis examines this streaming protocol in more detail and describes how it was extended to support temporal linking with audio streams, using the Fundamental Open Hypermedia Model (FOHM). The system developed is the first application of FOHM to stream media.
