Obiettivo The project aim is to prove the viability of developing multimedia reference applications on the principles of separate data and viewing components and inter-platform access. This is thought of a first step in the creation of a tool-set for the development of platform independent, inter-platform applications. The project will demonstrate that through the use of the REFEREED approach, very good quality, multimedia reference applications can be created. To the end-user it will mean better user interaction, more hardware and software choices, up-to-the-minute time-sensitive data, in a media-rich environment using existing infrastructure and technologies. To the developer it will mean less time and effort to produce state-of-the-art applications. To the publisher it will mean less costly products, that have a larger potential market, and that are more appealing than their competitors. Therefore, the major results of the project will be an approach for improved large scale multimedia reference applications and a major application using this approach. The pilot data will come from the Greek Basketball championship in order to prove real world regularly changing data and have a large audience on which to test the application. It will also provide a basis for an exploitable commercial product that can prove the virtues of the REFEREED approach in the marketplace. It will be accompanied by an extensive evaluation of both the approach and the resulting application by end-users, by publishers and by domain experts. By multimedia reference applications we mean such products as electronic encyclopaedias, lexicons, reference books, textbooks, product catalogues etc. We make this distinction to exclude at the present stage multimedia games, presentations and CBT. By inter-platform applications we mean applications that can take advantage of the concurrent use of more than one platform. An example is an application that resides partly on a CD-ROM (taking advantage of its media richness and speed) and partly on an on-line system (taking advantage of its real-time data) but provides a uniform interface to the end-user.
