Introduction
Multimedia applications are mostly designed for a particular reason. This might
be to sell or promote products or services, to convey information, to entertain

user, or to teach and educate.
Developing multimedia applications
is similar to the construction of buildings. The appearance and the functions of
a house
are different depending on the sense of the house-owner. Similarly, a multimedia
application
varies depending on its developer. Some prefer to concentrate on the design of
the
application and others prefer to concentrate on its functionality.
This lesson will show you the processes which have to be fulfilled from the beginning of the project until the end, independent of the application content. The four phases are:
Since the issue of this module is Multimedia Cartography, we concentrate on multimedia applications with cartographic background. But most parts of the conception can be transferred to the development of any other application. For each phase of the project we provide either questions that have to be posed and their answers, checklists whose items have to be fulfilled or examples which clarify the theory. |
