This is a W3C Recommendation of a specification of animation functionality for XML documents. It describes an animation framework as well as a set of base XML animation elements suitable for integration with XML documents. It is based upon the SMIL 1.0 timing model, with some extensions, and is a true subset of SMIL 2.0. This provides an intermediate stepping stone in terms of implementation complexity, for applications that wish to have SMIL-compatible animation but do not need or want time containers.
This section describes the status of this
This document specifies the second version of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced "smile"). SMIL 2.0 has the following two design goals:
* Define an XML-based language that allows authors to write interactive multimedia presentations. Using SMIL 2.0, an author can describe the temporal behavior of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects and describe the layout of the presentation on a screen.
* Allow reusing of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages, in particular those who
