As part of the NSF's EXPRES project, the authors investigated ways
to interchange multi-media documents among diverse systems. Their
investigations led to an analysis and implementation of multi-media
document format translation in general, and of the ODA standard in
particular. ODA, Office Document Architecture, is a new ISO and
CCITT international standard for representing multi- media
documents. The results of their investigations are presented in
this book. The book contains overview information about multi-media
document architecture and formats, an introduction to ODA, detailed
technical specifications on how to use ODA for multi-media document
format translation, and the authors' experiences in implementing
and using ODA. The book also contains a complete user manual for
the authors' publically available ODA software: tool kits for
manipulating ODA and raster formats, tools for examining ODA
documents and sample translators between ODA and several other
multi-media formats. This book provides comprehensive information
about ODA for a large audience. Planners can get basic information
about using ODA for interoperation of multi-media systems.
Researchers receive detailed discussions about the advantages and
problems of using ODA for document representation, format
translation and archival storage. System designers can use the
technical descriptions of translators and tools in specifying their
own. System builders can easily obtain the software as a basis for
prototyping and investigating their own ODA implementations.
After around 35 years touring the world professionally in the many
areas of music as both a sideman, and a leader, I am very proud to
finally publish some of my original compositions. It has been many
years that people ask me about my different originals, as well as
enquire about the availability of the lead sheets. Finally I have
assembled them into a book format. The book begins chronologically
from 2003- 2011. My last 6 CD's starting with the Motive Series,
One Step Closer, Family First, Live At The Bird's Eye, Good Rhythms
Good Vibes, and Live at Chorus jazz Club. You will surely notice
how my harmonic language skills grow and change over the years.
Feel free to explore the different ways they can be performed. Many
of the tunes can be played in multiple styles, and you can just use
the harmonic/rhythmic roadmap and melody your way.
