Chapter 2 discusses the  techniques used for storing and retrieving multimedia objects. Chapter  3 presents the techniques used for generating metadata for various  media objects. Chapter 4 examines the mechanisms used for storing the  index information needed for accessing different media objects.  Chapter 5 analyzes the approaches for modeling media objects, both  their temporal and spatial characteristics. Object-oriented approach,  with some additional features, has been widely used to model  multimedia information. The book discusses two systems that use  object-oriented models: OVID (Object Video Information Database) and  \u003cem\u003eJasmine\u003c\/em\u003e. The models for representing temporal and spatial  requirements of media objects are then studied. The book also  describes authoring techniques used for specifying temporal and  spatial characteristics of multimedia databases. Chapter 6 explains  different types of multimedia queries, the methodologies for  processing them and the language features for describing them. The  features offered by query languages such as SQL\/MM (Structured Query  Language for Multimedia), PICQUERY+, and Video SQL are also studied.  Chapter 7 deals with the communication requirements for multimedia  databases. A client accessing multimedia data over computer networks  needs to identify a schedule for retrieving various media objects  composing the database. The book identifies possible ways for  generating a retrieval schedule. Chapter 8 ties together the  techniques discussed in the previous chapters by providing a simple  architecture of a distributed multimedia database management system.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eMultimedia Database Management Systems\u003c\/em\u003e can be used as a text for  graduatestudents and researchers working in the area of multimedia  databases. In addition, the book serves as essential reading material  for computer professionals who are in (or moving to) the area of  multimedia databases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792397847\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6235-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 206.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578389913740,"sku":"9780792397847","price":215.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792397847.jpg?v=1767145462","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792397847","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
