HyTime

HyTime is a hypermedia time-based structuring language designed to represent the complex document types involved in multimedia computing. It is an extension of SGML and was standardized by ISO in 1992. HyTime not only provides SGML users with a bridge to hypermedia documentation but also offers the commercial world generally a usable multimedia document model. This text gives a practical and detailed introduction to HyTime. It is intended not only for researchers and developers in the fields of multimedia and electronic documentation but also for all those who wish to understand HyTime for end-use or to evaluate it for adoption.
