MEDIA: Models and Environments for Document-based Interaction and Authoring

The MEDIA research group is part of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at the EPFL.

The group is deeply involved in research and training activities that relate to complex structured documents and, their use through global information systems over the Internet.

The representation of electronic documents has moved away from the simple encoding practises of early usage, towards richer encoding that indicate the structure of the document as well as multimedia and metadata extensions. There has been a tendency towards developping and supporting standards for this task. XML (eXtended Markup Language), is one of the well-known of these standards and is currently supported by an increasing variety of related standards and tools that provide efficient management of "document oriented" data on the Web.

Our research is about document models, languages and methods that encompass the use of electronic documents, as processable units of information, in Web-based environments.

Offering new paradigms - based on rich user interfaces - for authoring and reusing structured information as well as supporting collaborative processes among nomadic users is of major concern in the MEDIA research group.
