An Object-Oriented Modeling of Multimedia Database Objects and Applications

An important issue in multimedia information systems is the lack of models for integrated representation of multimedia objects and applications. Here we discuss various aspects concerning multimedia data modelling. Moreover we propose an object oriented data base model (MOAP — Multimedia Object and Application Model) that aims at representation of multimedia objects and applications. The application representation is based on composition (spatial and temporal) and scenario modelling. An important feature of the MOAP is the approach for integrated modelling of the multimedia objects as well as of the applications.
