Any other SMIL or HTML Editor can be used and files can be dropped into the package. HTML files can be included with their own CSS, and JavaScript, etc.

; - Behavioral editor to create Axmethods in JavaScript defining the content business intelligence and semantics, associated to actions and other events; - DRM editor (MPEG-21 REL) to create licenses; - Protection editor to protect the content; - Workflow editor to set up workflow parameters, etc. The production of AXMEDIS content can be automated by using AXCP tools as described in the Technical Note: http://www.axmedis.org/documenti/view_documenti.php?doc_id=3624.
