A Multi-Viewpoint Approach For Semantic Multimedia Documents Adaptation

Abstract

Multimedia documents have to be played on multiple device types.Hence, a user not disabled or handicapped requires document adaptation according to execution contexts.Currently, advanced technological hardware can offer mobile devices, which fit in the hand with the capacity to consult documents at anytime and anywhere.Multiple user context constraints as well as mobile device capabilities may involve the adaptation of multimedia content.In this article, the authors propose a new Multi-viewpoints ontological-based method for adapting multimedia documents; each viewpoint of de multimedia document could correspond to a physical handicap and therefore triggers an adaptation action using multiviewpoint ontological reasoning.Our proposed ontology has the great advantage to offer to users a flexible infrastructure to easily govern the response time and the quality assembly of their applications at runtime.
