I-TV - Designing, Authoring and Producing Enhanced Televised Content on the Internet and on TV

Objective

I-TV will design, author and deliver visual content on the Internet (Internet-TV); content that so far has mostly been covered by print and audio. I-TV will furthermore turn a regular hourly TV show into an Enhanced TV show and a weekly TV show into an Inhabited TV show with crossmedia content features. These two objectives are to be accomplished in four interactive electronic publishing areas: cultural information, lifestyle publishing and entertainment, business and financial information, and news, science and current affairs. I-TV covers the whole value chain from designing and authoring highly visual content to delivering it to world-wide audiences on the web/digital TV and from creating value added services (e-communities and e-business) to optimining crossmedia content creation via audience research and data mining (classifiying and profiling audiences). I-TV will lead to four applications: an enhanced TV show, a business information portal, a knowledge and information portal and an entertainmentrportal.

I-TV will lead to three tools:
a crossmedia authoring tool,
a crossmedia community building tool and
a crossmedia audience research tool.

Tools and applications will be highly integrated with each other
