Abstractions for Multimedia Database Systems
Abstract
In this article we point out important functionality needed to support advanced multimedia applications by a database management system. We introduce a generic datatype to support the implementation of time-dependent media like audio, video, and animation. Besides the demand for specific multimedia datatypes we sketch a taxonomy for the modeling of meta information. Multimedia presentations are made independent from formats and devices similar as data are made independent from physical storage. The developments achieved so far with the AMOS prototype currently under implementation at our institute illustrates the chosen architecture of a multimedia database management system.
