A method and apparatus for fragmenting non-linear data (2112) for delivery in a dynamic content delivery architecture, the method comprising the steps of: analyzing metadata for the non-linear data (2112) to determine how to fragment the non-linear data (2112); partitioning the non-linear data (2112) in accordance with the metadata analysis creating partitioned segments (2114,2116,2118); and defining navigation rules for the partitioned segments (2114,2116,2118); the apparatus being a fragmentation module for use in a dynamic content delivery system, the fragmentation module comprising : a processor (2110) adapted to perform a metadata based analysis on content (2112) to be fragmented, the processor (2110) further adapted to partition the content (2112) into segments (2114,2116,2118) based on the metadata; and a segment navigation module (2130), the segment navigation module adapted to define segment navigation rules for the segments (2114,2116,2118). |
