The use of decomposition in an object-oriented approach to present and represent multimedia documents

A prototype of a multimedia document processing system called MuBIS (multimedia bureau information system), which integrates laser-optical disks, has been designed, developed, and implemented. It is tailored to office applications involving multimedia document management. Using an object-oriented approach enriched with the mechanisms of layering, aggregation, and decomposition, a system that satisfies the needs of the complex structure of its documents and the relationships between them has been built.<<ETX>>
