Abstract
This paper investigates the main issues related to the translation of SMIL into MHEG-5 documents. This is driven by the more general objective to achieve interoperability between the domains of Web and digital-TV, where MHEG-5 is used in the digital-TV environment and SMIL is the Web format to specify interactive synchronized multimedia presentations.
A summary of both formats is presented, on the basis of which it is shown how SMIL translates into MHEG-5. Although the formats have differences, such translation appears to be feasible. Aspects of authoring for both domains and other interoperability issues are discussed.
