Abstract
A hypermedia is a spatio-temporal hypertext, namely a collection of media connected by synchronization and linking relations. HyperJessSyn is a tool which uses logic programming and Semantic Web technologies for synthesizing hypermedia according to descriptions of discourse structure and of presentation layout. A rule-based system in Jess applies inference rules to interpret an OWL graph which expresses semantic and navigation relations among media instances, and production rules to turn media contents descriptions in XML/MPEG7 format in an XMT-A/MPEG4 hypermedia script via XSL transformations. The system has been used to produce a hyperguide for virtual visiting a museum.
