SMIL and the World of Personalization

Key SMIL Advantages

• The ability to substitute or augment content based on user needs
• The ability to separate 'enhanced' content from document source content
• The ability to be automatically generated and customized in a post-production activity

SMIL is Not a Special-Purpose Language

• All parts of the SMIL community are 'logically' blind, deaf or disabled at some time
• SMIL can meet special needs of all users without extra investment in language extensions
