With the rapid growth in the use of computers to manipulate,
process, and reason about multimedia data, the problem of how to
store and retrieve such data is becoming increasingly important.
Thus, although the field of multimedia database systems is only
about 5 years old, it is rapidly becoming a focus for much
excitement and research effort. Multimedia database systems are
intended to provide unified frameworks for requesting and
integrating information in a wide variety of formats, such as audio
and video data, document data, and image data. Such data often have
special storage requirements that are closely coupled to the
various kinds of devices that are used for recording and presenting
the data, and for each form of data there are often multiple
representations and multiple standards - all of which make the
database integration task quite complex. Some of the problems
include: - what a multimedia database query means - what kinds of
languages to use for posing queries - how to develop compilers for
such languages - how to develop indexing structures for storing
media on ancillary devices - data compression techniques - how to
present and author presentations based on user queries. Although
approaches are being developed for a number of these problems, they
have often been ad hoc in nature, and there is a need to provide a
princi pled theoretical foundation."
