Multimedia presentation database system

摘要

Multimedia presentations are increasingly being used in most spheres of life. Viewing these multimedia presentation as databases help in querying as well as re-using parts of existing presentations to create new ones. This dissertation proposes on object-oriented model for mangaging multimedia presentations as (temporal) databases based on the web. And the dissertation also discusses the representation of the proposed object-oriented model in Extensible Markup Language (XML). This represented opens up the possibility of employing standard XML product to commit multimedia presentation application over Internet, using the object-oriented model. Most major features such as run-time query arousing, unknown-duration objects control and interdatabase links are captured by the XML representation in the dissertation.
