Tassonomy and Review of Complex Content Models

The content technology needs to conquer new forms with more intelligence, more flexibility and more complete features than those which are present on the market or proposed by standards. Innovative content formats have been proposed while they have difficulties to conquer the market for the lack of general consensus and tools. In this paper, an analysis of the state of the art about complex content models is presented. The analysis has been developed in the context of European Commission projects, in the intelligent content area. The analysis allowed us to identify a number of topics and features on which the models should evolve and the major lacks in the most diffuse models and formats.
