Introduction
Since its inception the World Wide Web (WWW) has revolutionized the way people interact, learn and communicate. A whole new breed of information systems has been developed to process, store, retrieve, and disseminate information through the Internet using Web protocols. These systems are using hypertext to link documents and present any kind of information, including multimedia, to the end user through a Web browser. Web based information systems are often called Web Information Systems (WIS). A WIS, which uses multimedia as its key component, is a Multimedia Web Information System.
