Amaya
(formerly
Amaya World
)
[6]
is a discontinued
free and open source
WYSIWYG
web
authoring tool
[7]
with
browsing
abilities.
It was created by a structured editor project at the
INRIA
, a French national research institution, and later adopted by the
World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) as their
testbed
for
web standards
;
[8]
a role it took over from the
Arena web browser
.
[9]
[10]
[11]
Since the last release in January 2012, INRIA and the W3C have stopped supporting the project and active development has ceased.
[12]
[13]
Amaya has relatively low
system requirements
, even in comparison with other
web browsers
from the era of its active development period, so it has been considered a "lightweight" browser.
[14]
History
[
edit
]
Amaya originated as a direct descendant of the
Grif
WYSIWYG
[15]
SGML
editor created in the early 1980s,
[16]
and of the
HTML editor
Symposia, itself based on Grif, both developed and sold by French software company Grif SA.
The last change of code of Amaya was on 22 Feb 2013.
[17]

[
edit
]

- Support for CSS, MathML, SVG, RDF and Xpointer
- Displays
free

A test bed application
[
edit
]
It was used as a test-bed for new web technologies that were not supported in major browsers.
[14]
[18]
Amaya was the first client that supported the
RDF
annotation schema using
XPointer
.
[19]
[20]
[21]
[22]
The browser was available for
Linux
,
[23]
Windows
(
NT
and
95
),
[23]
Mac OS X
,
AmigaOS
,
SPARC
/
Solaris
,
[23]
AIX
,
[23]
OSF/1
.
[23]
Naming and logo
[
edit
]
Amaya was formerly called
Tamaya
.
[24]
Tamaya is the name of the type of tree represented in the logo, but it was later discovered that Tamaya is also a trademark used by a French company, so the developers chose to drop the first letter to make it "Amaya".
