Abstract

Advances in data compression are creating new possibilities for applications combining digital audio and digital video. These applications, such as desktop authoring environments and educational or training programs, often require access to collections of audio/video material. This paper introduces audio/ video, or “AV”, databases and discusses the key problem of data modelling in the context of time-based media. Extensions needed for modelling basic audio/video structures and relationships are described. These extensions, which include temporal sequences, quality factors, derivation relationships and temporal composition, are applied to an existing audio/video data representation.
