[2] [3] He has also made significant contributions to the development and specification of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL). [4]
Dr. Bulterman received a Ph.D. in computer science from Brown University (USA) in 1982. He also holds a Sc.M. in computer science from Brown University (1977) and a B.A. in economics from Hope College (1973). He is also a member of the Arts Council of the Protestant Church of Amsterdam. He was born in Amstelveen, The Netherlands, and lives with his family in Amsterdam.
Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language ) is a World Wide Web Consortium recommended Extensible Markup Language (XML) markup language to describe multimedia presentations. It defines markup for timing, layout, animations, visual transitions, and media embedding, among other things. SMIL allows presenting media items such as text, images, video, audio, links to other SMIL presentations, and files from multiple web servers. SMIL markup is written in XML, and has similarities to HTML.
