&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;SMIL&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ({{IPAc-en|s|m|aɪ|l}})) is a [[World Wide Web Consortium]] [[W3C recommendation|recommended]] [[Extensible Markup Language]] (XML) [[markup language]] to describe [[multimedia]] presentations. It defines markup for timing, layout, animations, visual transitions, and media embedding, among other things. SMIL allows presenting media items such as text, images, video, audio, links to other SMIL presentations, and files from multiple web servers. SMIL markup is written in XML, and has similarities to [[HTML]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Members of the [[World Wide Web Consortium]] (also known as the &amp;quot;W3C&amp;quot;) created SMIL for [[streaming media]] presentations, and published SMIL 1.0 in June 1998.  Many of these W3C members helped author several versions of SMIL specifications between 1996 (when the first multimedia workshops were hosted by the W3C) and 2008 (when SMIL 3.0 was published).  SMIL is an XML-based application, and is a part of many [[Multimedia Messaging Service]] (MMS) applications.  SMIL can be combined with other XML-based specifications such as with SVG (as has been done with [[SVG animation]]) and with XHTML (as done with [[HTML+TIME]]). &lt;br /&gt;
== Version history ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{As of|2008}}, the [[W3C Recommendation]] for SMIL is &amp;#039;&amp;#039;SMIL 3.0&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SMIL 1.0 ===&lt;br /&gt;
SMIL 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation on 15 June 1998.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;smil-v1.0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;smil-v1.0-press&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.w3.org/Press/1998/SMIL-REC|title=Press Release: W3C Issues SMIL as a W3C Recommendation|date=1998-06-15|access-date=2021-04-09|website=W3C|author-first1=Sally|author-last1=Khudairi&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== SMIL 2.0 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;SMIL 2.0&amp;#039;&amp;#039; became a W3C Recommendation on 9 August 2001.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;smil-v2.0-press&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.w3.org/2001/08/smil2-pressrelease|title=World Wide Web Consortium Issues SMIL 2 as a W3C Recommendation|website=W3C|date=2001-08-09|access-date=2021-04-09|author-first=Janet|author-last=Daly|author-first2=Marie-Claire|author-last2=Forgue|author-first3=Saeko|author-last3=Takeuchi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; SMIL 2.0 introduced a modular language structure that facilitated integration of SMIL semantics into other XML-based languages. Basic animation and timing modules were integrated into Scalable Vector Graphics ([[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]]) and the SMIL modules formed a basis for [[Timed Text|Timed-Text]]. The modular structure made it possible to define the standard SMIL language profile and the [[XHTMLplusSMIL|XHTML+SMIL]] language profile with common syntax and standard semantics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SMIL 2.1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;SMIL 2.1&amp;#039;&amp;#039; became a W3C Recommendation on 13 December 2005.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;smil-v2.1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;smil-v2.1-press&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.w3.org/2005/12/smil-pressrelease.html.en|title=World Wide Web Consortium Releases SMIL 2.1 as a W3C Recommendation|author-first=Janet|author-last=Daly|author-first2=Marie-Claire|author-last2=Forgue|author-first3=Yasuyuki|author-last3=Hirakawa|website=W3C|date=13 December 2005 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; SMIL 2.1 includes a small number of extensions based on practical experience gathered using SMIL in the [[Multimedia Messaging System]] on mobile phones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SMIL 3.0 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;SMIL 3.0&amp;#039;&amp;#039; became a W3C Recommendation in December 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;smil-v3.0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; It was first submitted as a W3C Working draft on December 21, 2006.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-SMIL3-20061220/|title=Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 3.0)|access-date=25 February 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The last draft revision was released on October 6, 2008.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PR-SMIL3-20081006/|title=Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 3.0)|access-date=25 February 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=http://www.xmediasmil.net/|title=Interactive Multimedia for the Web, Mobile Devices and Daisy Talking Books|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302083620/http://www.xmediasmil.net/|author-first1=Dick C.A.|author-last1=Bulterman|author-first2=Lloyd|author-last2=Rutledge|date=20 November 2008 |isbn=978-3-540-78546-0|publication-date=November 2008|archive-date=2009-03-02|access-date=2021-04-08|publisher=New York, NY: Springer}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== SMIL documents ==&lt;br /&gt;
A SMIL document is similar in structure to an [[HTML]] document in that they are typically divided between an optional &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;head&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; section and a required &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;body&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; section. The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;head&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; section contains layout and metadata information. The &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;body&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; section contains the timing information, and is generally composed of combinations of three main tags—sequential (&amp;quot;&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;seq&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;, simple playlists), parallel (&amp;quot;&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;par&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;, multi-zone/multi-layer playback) and exclusive (&amp;quot;&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;&amp;lt;excl&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&amp;quot;, event-triggered interrupts). SMIL refers to media objects by [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]]s, allowing them to be shared between presentations and stored on different servers for [[Load balancing (computing)|load balancing]]. The language can also associate different media objects with different [[Bandwidth (computing)|bandwidth]] requirements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For playback scheduling, SMIL supports [[ISO-8601]] &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;wallclock()&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; date/time specification to define begin/end events for playlists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SMIL files take either a &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;.smi&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; or &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;.smil&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; file extension. However, [[SAMI]] files and Macintosh [[self mounting image]]s also use &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;.smi&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, which creates some ambiguity at first glance. As a result, SMIL files commonly use the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;.smil&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; file extension to avoid confusion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combination with other XML-based standards==&lt;br /&gt;
SMIL was created during a time when structured data using XML was very popular and during a time when [[Internet Explorer]] was very popular. Thus &amp;quot;combining&amp;quot; SMIL with other markup languages was considered one of the [[best current practice]]s of the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SMIL+SVG===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|SVG animation#SVG animation using SMIL}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Toy_train_SMIL.svg|thumb|right|link={{filepath:Toy_train_SMIL.svg}}|Example of a non-interactive (but animated) [[SVG animation|SVG with SMIL]].  The SVG file demonstrates animation of transformation and motion.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SMIL_missile_demo.svg|thumb|right|link={{filepath:SMIL_missile_demo.svg}}|Example of an interactive SVG with SMIL demonstrating &amp;#039;&amp;#039;mouse&amp;#039;&amp;#039; events.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SMIL is one of three means by which [[SVG animation]] can be achieved (the others being [[JavaScript]] and [[CSS animations]]).&lt;br /&gt;

===SMIL+RSS or other web syndication methods===&lt;br /&gt;
While [[RSS]] and [[Atom (standard)|Atom]] are [[web syndication]] methods, with the former being more popular as a syndication method for [[podcast]]s, SMIL is potentially useful as a script or [[playlist]] that can tie sequential pieces of multimedia together and can then be syndicated through RSS or Atom.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.slideshare.net/adrianstevenson/podcasting-smil-61226|title=Podcasting &amp;amp; SMIL|date=2007-06-07|access-date=2021-04-09|author-first1=Adrian|author-last1=Stevenson|website=slideshare.net}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://gonze.com/rss_plus_time.html|title=Analysis of RSS+Time as a playlist format|date=2003-12-03|access-date=2021-04-09|author-first1=Lucas|author-last1=Gonze|website=Lucas Gonze}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In addition, the combination of multimedia-laden .smil files with RSS or Atom syndication would be useful for accessibility to audio-enabled podcasts by the [[deaf]] through Timed Text closed captions,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.jod.id.au/tutorial/accessible-podcast.html|title=Internet Citizenship: Accessible Podcasting|date=2006-11-22|access-date=2021-04-09|author-first1=Jonathan|author-last1=O&amp;#039;Donnell|author-first2=Peter|author-last2=Batchelor|website=jod.id.au}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and can also turn multimedia into hypermedia that can be hyperlinked to other linkable audio and video multimedia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2006/05/podcasting-smil-alternative.html|title=Net Traveller: Podcasting: SMIL Alternative?|date=2006-05-29|access-date=2021-04-09|author=Tom Worthington|website=tomw.net.au}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SMIL+VoiceXML and SMIL+MusicXML===&lt;br /&gt;
[[VoiceXML]] can be combined with SMIL to provide a sequential reading of several pre-provided pages or slides in a [[voice browser]], while combining SMIL with [[MusicXML]] would allow for the creation of infinitely-recombinable sequences of music sheets. Combining SMIL+VoiceXML or SMIL+MusicXML with RSS or Atom could be useful in the creation of an audible pseudo-podcast with embedded hyperlinks, while combining SMIL+SVG with VoiceXML and/or MusicXML would be useful in the creation of an automatically audio-enabled [[vector graphics]] [[animation]] with embedded hyperlinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SMIL+TEI ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SMIL is anticipated for use within [[Text Encoding Initiative]] (TEI) documents.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tei-section-16&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/FT.html|title=14 Tables, Formulæ, Graphics and Notated Music - The TEI Guidelines|website=Text Encoding Initiative|date=2021-03-01|access-date=2021-04-09|version=4.2.1}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/SA.html#SASYMP|title=16.4.2 Placing Synchronous Events in Time|website=Text Encoding Initiative|date=2021-03-01|access-date=2021-04-09|version=4.2.1}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Status of SMIL==&lt;br /&gt;
SMIL is being implemented on handheld and mobile devices and has also spawned &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;3GPP, [http://www.3gpp.org/DynaReport/26140.htm 3GPP TS 26.140 Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS); Media formats and codecs]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the [[Multimedia Messaging Service]] (MMS) which is a video and picture equivalent of [[SMS|Short Message Service]] (SMS).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SMIL is also one of the underlying technologies used for &amp;quot;[[Advanced Content]]&amp;quot; in the (discontinued) [[HD DVD]] format for adding interactive content (menus etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The field of [[Digital Signage]] is embracing SMIL as a means of controlling dynamic advertising in public areas.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://digsigtoday.com/2008/12/iadea-xmp-300-digital-signage-player-to-support-smil-open-standard/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212192109/http://digsigtoday.com/2008/12/iadea-xmp-300-digital-signage-player-to-support-smil-open-standard/|url-status=usurped|title=IAdea XMP-300 Digital Signage Player to Support SMIL Open Standard|archive-date=2009-02-12|date=2008-12-04|access-date=2021-04-09|website=DigSigToday|publisher=Wamzle Creative}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.a-smil.org|title=A-SMIL.org, SMIL for Digital Signage|website=A-SMIL.org|date=n.d.|access-date=2021-04-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==SMIL players==&lt;br /&gt;
===Software===&lt;br /&gt;
Most commonly used [[web browsers]] have native support for SMIL, but it has not been implemented in Microsoft browsers. It was to be deprecated in Google Chrome,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/5o0yiO440LM?pli=1|title=Intent to deprecate: SMIL|website=Google Groups|author-first=Philip|author-last=Rogers|date=2015-04-29|access-date=2021-04-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; but it has now been decided to suspend that intent until alternatives are sufficiently developed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/5o0yiO440LM/m/YGEJBsjUAwAJ|title=Intent to deprecate: SMIL|author-first1=Philip|author-last1=Rogers|date=2016-08-17|access-date=2021-04-09|website=Google Groups}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Other software that implement SMIL playback include:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Media player boxes based on dedicated 1080p decoder chips such as the Sigma Designs 8634 processor are getting SMIL players embedded in them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Embedding SMIL files into XHTML web pages===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A SMIL file must be embedded, then opened using a plug-in such as Apple&amp;#039;s QuickTime or Microsoft&amp;#039;s Windows Media Player, to be viewed by a browser that doesn&amp;#039;t support SMIL.&lt;br /&gt;
