The Study on Query Interface to XML-Based Multimedia Database

摘要

The MPEG Query Format (MPQF) is one of the new standardization initiatives which aim to provide a standardized interface to XML-based multimedia retrieval systems. Since relational databases such as Oracle, DB2 and MS SQL Server are still the mainstream database products in practice to store multimedia data. In this paper we propose a method to translate an MPQF query to SQL that relational based multimedia database can evaluate and execute.
