Abstract

In this paper, a teleservice for archiving and retrieving multimedia documents using public networks is described. This teleservice encourages a broad range of multimedia archiving applications. The described implementation is based on standardized multimedia mail and suitable for an asynchronous access mechanism. The originality of this work is the integration of multimedia mail with simple standalone archive clients for heterogeneous platforms and an archive server which is based on an object-oriented DBMS. The modeling of the server is described indepth showing the contributions of object-oriented database technology for the realization of generic electronic archives that deal with structured multimedia documents. Helpful hints and important design suggestions for the implementation of advanced archive functionality are provided. Furthermore, functionality for efficient access on the client side is outlined. A sample application showing a Multimedia Calendar of Events is sketched as well.

This work is partially granted by the German Telekom's DeTeBerkom GmbH, Berlin, under contract number 2038/2.
