Multimedia DBMS — Reality or Hype?

  • Chapter

  • 64 Accesses

Abstract

A Database Management System (DBMS) is “… the software that allows one or many persons to use and/or modify … data [stored in a database]…”[1]. A major role of the DBMS is to allow the user to deal with the data in abstract terms, rather than as the computer stores the data. This book is devoted to the discussion of issues relevant to multimedia database management. In succeeding chapters, attempts are made to question and provide answers to important issues. What really is the role of a DBMS in multimedia data presentation? How feasible is it? Assuming that a multimedia DBMS is feasible, is it necessary, or do we need to build presentation routines for multimedia applications and use them together with existing DBMSs?
