Abstract
A system and method for multi-modal information delivery is disclosed herein. The method involves receiving a first user request at a browser module operative in accordance with a first protocol applicable to a first mode of information delivery. The method further includes generating a browsing request in response to the first user request, wherein the browsing request identifies information available within a network. Multi-modal content is then created on the basis of the information identified by the browsing request and provided to the browser module. The multi-modal content is formatted in compliance with the first protocol and incorporates a reference to content formatted in accordance with a second protocol applicable to a second mode of information delivery.
