Abstract
An information processing apparatus for creating content information according to a predetermined specification includes a shared scene definer operable to define a shared scene as editing material. The editing material is processed in the apparatus. The shared scene is created by a shared scene creator and is a virtual scene usable by a plurality of scenes. A shared scene setter sets a specific shared scene to be used by each of plurality of scenes to form content information, a shared object setter sets the shared object to be used in the specific shared scene and a control-information describer describes the control information for controlling the utilization of the shared objects in accordance with the predetermined specification and in dependence on the set specific shared scene.
