The MPEG-4 standard object-oriented approach, employed to the encoding of audiovisual content, is similar to those used on many models and languages for multimedia/hypermedia document specification. Among those languages, the NCL (Nested Context Language), used in the HyperProp system, introduces a series of new concepts that can be integrated to the standard, with advantages. Initially, the proposal of this work is to convert NCL to MPEG-4 (XMT-O) documents and vice versa, allowing authoring and formatting tools to be used in the specification and presentation of documents in both languages. This work also proposes both the placing of MPEG-4 scenes as media objects and NCL language compositions, allowing the establishment of relationships among scenes. In order to allow displaying these new NCL objects, an MPEG-4 player is incorporated to the HyperProp Formatter. The MPEG-4 player is able to report to the controller the occurrence of events that, among other things, allows the synchronization between MPEG-4 scenes and othe r NCL objects, including other MPEG-4 scenes. Finally, exploring the concept of templates, introduced by the NCL language, the authoring in the MPEG-4 is improved, by means of the definition of new semantics for XMT-O language compositions and the design of compilers for this language.
