AMIS Active Multimedia Information System

The Active Multimedia Information System demonstrates how to build a prototype intelligent multimedia information system using the active index approach.

Step 1: Use the IC_Builder to create index cells.

Step 2: Use the IC_Compiler to compile the index cells into a customized IC_Manager, which will be part of the main cgi program (taoml.cgi for this example), to create new index cells (ic's) or to process messages sent to index cells.

Step 3: Define one HTML page (this index.html page), several TAOML (Tele-Action Object Markup Language - an extended HTML language) pages and corresponding TPL (template) pages to serve as the user interface.

Step 4; You are now ready to experiment with the prototype intelligent multimedia information system.

Suppose your first TAOML page is called amis.taoml. You can pass this information to the CGI program inter.cgi, which will interpret the page amis.taoml to dynamically create the page amis.html.
