This document specifies the third version of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced "smile"). SMIL 3.0 has the following design goals:
- Define an XML-based language that allows authors to write interactive multimedia presentations. Using SMIL, an author may describe the temporal behaviour of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects and describe the layout of the presentation on a screen.
- Allow reusing of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages, in particular those who need to represent timing and synchronization. For example, SMIL components are used for integrating timing into XHTML [XHTML10] and into SVG [SVG].
- Extend the functionalities contained in the SMIL 2.1 [SMIL21] into new or revised SMIL 3.0 modules.
- Define new SMIL 3.0 Profiles incorporating features useful within the industry.

This is a W3C Recommendation of a specification of animation functionality for XML documents. It describes an animation framework as well as a set of base XML animation elements suitable for integration with XML documents. It is based upon the SMIL 1.0 timing model, with some extensions, and is a true subset of SMIL 2.0. This provides an intermediate stepping stone in terms of implementation complexity, for applications that wish to have SMIL-compatible animation but do not need or want time containers.

This document specifies version 1 of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 1.0, pronounced "smile"). SMIL allows integrating a set of independent multimedia objects into a synchronized multimedia presentation.

The XHTML+SMIL profile defines a set of XHTML abstract modules that support a subset of the SMIL 2.0 specification.

This document describes a proposed modularization of synchronized multimedia functionality, based upon the SMIL 1.0 Recommendation. The proposed modules complement HTML/CSS modules to support the definition of multimedia profiles that combine SYMM and HTML/CSS modules, as well as other XML-based languages. A set of example profiles for multimedia use is described. The document is intended to form a basis for work by a future SYMM Working Group.
