A Temporal Data Model for Multimedia Database Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presented data model is a novel approach for integrating temporal concepts into a multimedia database system. Multimedia objects are extended with the traditional time dimensions valid time and transaction time. In addition a new time dimension specifically tailored for multimedia data types is presented with semantics that are completely orthogonal to the already established time dimensions, valid time and transaction time, i.e., the model supports a 3D time for multimedia data. This new time dimension, the play time dimension, places the building blocks of multimedia data in a temporal structure for multimedia presentation. This model is currently being implemented in a MMDBS for distance education at UNIK, University of Oslo.

ÐAs more information sources become available in multimedia systems, the development of abstract semantic models for video, audio, text, and image data becomes very important. An abstract semantic model has two requirements: It should be rich enough to provide a friendly interface of multimedia presentation synchronization schedules to the users and it should be a good programming data structur...

Multimedia computer systems are required to store, retrieve, and communicate objects comprised of mixed data types including images, text, and voice. An important aspect of multimedia systems is the integration of elements retrieved from databases distributed across a network. Integration of object components requires consideration of the temporal characteristics of multimedia elements. We prop...

Advanced applications in fields like electronic publishing and telecooperation face the problem of handling multimedia information. Conventional database systems do not offer adequate support for storage management as they do not provide for the modelling, indexing, and manipulation of multimedia data. Database management systems need to be extended if they should be able to handle multimedia i...
متن کاملModeling Video Temporal Relationships in an Object Database Management System
One of the key aspects of videos is the temporal relationship between video frames. In this paper we propose a tree-based model for specifying the temporal semantics of video data. We present a unique way of integrating our video model into an object database management system which has rich multimedia temporal operations. We further show how temporal histories are used to model video data, exp...
