As mentioned in Chapter 1, a multimedia application is constructed from a collection of multimedia objects. The primitive objects are media objects of the same media type. The complex multimedia objects are composed from these primitive objects and in general are of mixed media types.

Spatial and temporal composition rules must be taken into consideration.
