SMIL (TM)
To enable simple authoring of TV-like multimedia presentations such as training courses on the Web, W3C has designed the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced "smile"). The SMIL language is an easy-to-learn HTML-like language. Thus, SMIL presentations can be written using a simple text-editor. A SMIL presentation can be composed of streaming audio, streaming video, images, text or any other media type.
