Abstract
The concept of media type is central to the codesign approach to Web Information Systems (WISs). By means of views on some database schema it permits a separation of global content from local content that is to support particular scenes of a WIS. By means of various extensions such as cohesion, hierarchies, style options and associated operations it enables interface abstraction and adaptivity to users, channels and end-devices. It can further be used for modelling collaboration, session support and contextual information, and by means of an associated dynamic logic provides the basis for formal reasoning about a WIS design. In this paper we give a brief survey of the potential of media types as a very powerful abstraction mechanism for WISs.
