Proseminar Multimedia-Databases & Retrieval: An introduction to METIS - a Flexible Database Foundation for Uni ed Media Management
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces the idea, architecture and purpose of METIS which is a exible and highly costumizable multimedia database. It is the result of pushing a truly multimedia approach in the landscape of mostly single-media oriented databases. METIS can be depicted as a comprehensive system to all kinds of media, their metadata attributes, internal connections and requirements in feature-generation and comparison. What de nes METIS is the elaborate and clean structure it o ers for dealing with any given type of media. It is not a system that implements new storage or user interaction approaches as they can set up individually. The given structure can easily be adjusted to meet domain speci c needs without loosing its ability to extend to new non-domain speci c media types.

Multimedia database systems largely focus on the management of media of one particular type and suffer from inflexible architectures, which makes it difficult to adapt them to individual application needs. This paper gives an overview of METIS, a flexible multimedia database foundation for the unified management of media of arbitrary types, characterized by profound customizability. METIS can b...
متن کاملYlvi - Multimedia-izing the Semantic Wiki
Semantic and semi-structured wiki implementations, which extend traditional, purely string-based wikis by adding machine-processable metadata, suffer from a lack of support for media management. Currently, it is difficult to maintain semantically rich metadata for both wiki pages and associated media assets; media management functionalities are cumbersome or missing. With Ylvi, a semantic wiki ...
متن کاملSpatial Reasoning Ruels in Multimedia Management Systems
In this paper we consider various spatial relationships that are of general interest for retrieving data from multimedia databases. We present a uni ed representation of spatial objects for both topological and directional relations. Such a representation is based on Allen's temporal interval algebra. We also present a set of spatial inference rules, which allow us to make heterogeneous spatial...
