Introduction
============

This document is composed of 4 parts.

First, a presentation targeted at users of `concepts and vocabulary`_
used in the project. It gives a big picture of the different elements.

.. _`concepts and vocabulary`:  glossary

Then, we define the `hypervideo model`_, designed on the basis of our
work in the Advene project. It defines a minimal data structure needed
to implement hypervideos.

.. _`hypervideo model`: hypervideo_model

The next part presents the `Cinelab Applicative Model`_ and more
precisely specifies and brings operational constraints on the abstract
model presented before, in order to get an implementation of the
notions presented in the `concepts and vocabulary`_ part.

.. _`Cinelab Applicative Model`: cam

Finally, the last part specifies an XML+ZIP and a JSON-based `serialisation
formats`_ for Cinelab data, so that they can be shared among applications.

.. _`serialisation formats`: cinelab_format
