Definition
Multimedia data modeling refers to creating the relationship between data in a multimedia application.
Introduction
Data modeling (sans multimedia), mush like requirement engineering, is in a sense a hybrid discipline that operates as a bridge between, on one side, some branch of the computing profession and, on the other, the problems from other disciplines to which the computing profession applies its solutions. In the general acceptance of the term, data modeling has the purpose of creating a formal data structure that captures as well as possible the (often informal) data of the application, and the relations between them. Standard data modeling is often done using semi-formal methods such as the entity-relationship diagrams [1]. These methods, in general, put the emphasis on the relationship between the data, rather than on the data themselves: the data are often represented as simple data types (integers, strings, etc.) connected by the relations of the model.
