An engine for the interactive delivery and presentation of multimedia data. The delivery mechanism is premised on a topic and panel metaphor. A topic is comprised of a series of panels. Each panel further defines the multimedia data which will be used when the panel is displayed. Each panel may also contain control and qualifier elements which are used to determine the next panel to be displayed. Control elements are used to solicit information from the user. The information is then used by the qualifier elements in determining the next panel to be displayed. Each element is stored in a database as a discrete object. This allows sharing of objects amongst different panels or topics. Prior to delivery and presentation of the data, the topic must be set up. Setup occurs by retrieving all the necessary panel, control, qualifier and data descriptor objects. The actual data associated with multimedia data objects is only retrieved when the data is to be displayed. The various qualifier objects are evaluated while panels are being viewed to determine the next panel to be displayed.
