The SMIL Animation was written by the SYMM Working Group, a member of W3C Interaction Domain, in cooperation with the SVG Working Group, a member of W3C Document Formats domain.
The more mathematical but precise definition of animation says that it is a time-based manipulation of a target element (or the manipulation of any attribute of the target element). It’s simply a mapping in time of the different states of the object. This type of mapping is valid for any aspect of timing, as well as animation-specific semantics.
The
This is a W3C Recommendation of a specification of animation functionality for XML documents. It describes an animation framework as well as a set of base XML animation elements suitable for integration with XML documents. It is based upon the SMIL 1.0 timing model, with some extensions, and is a true subset of SMIL 2.0. This provides an intermediate stepping stone in terms of implementation complexity, for applications that wish to have SMIL-compatible animation but do not need or want time containers.

This document specifies version 1 of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 1.0, pronounced “smile”). SMIL allows integrating a set of independent multimedia objects into a synchronized multimedia presentation. Using SMIL, an author can:
describe the temporal behavior of the presentation
describe the layout of the presentation on a screen
associate hyperlinks with media objects
This specification is structured as follows: Section 2 presents the specification approach. Section 2 defines the “smil” element. Section 3
