Models: Amsterdam - hypermedia

• Each of the 3 boxes represents a component or node that includes multimedia (time-based) information.
• When a component is presented, it plays for a period of time.
• The middle component is atomic, having only one media type. The black marker 2/3 of the way along is an anchor, which would allow one to jump directly to that point (in time / play).
• The other two components are composites, with several streams of multimedia information. The bottom one has three streams and six components, where components shown with the same color are played-back in sequence.
• The bottom component has one from anchor to a span in the first green-stream child-component of the top composite component.
• The top component is the most complex. About half-way through is a synchronization point, so one can jump there and all the streams will start then, at the same time. That point is reached from an anchor in the first white component. Other anchors point outside or are pointed to from outside.
