Abstract
Audio and video data represent streams of data with inherent temporal properties. In this paper we consider a video database as a collection of partial ordered sets where temporal relationships exist between elements from the same video stream. Video production introduces dependencies between different time coordinate systems. In this paper we give a formal definition of the contents of a video database. We also define mapped video object sets and operations on such sets that can be used for querying the temporal properties of video data and that can be used for mapping video objects between different time coordinate systems. At last, we illustrate how the proposed foundation can be used in searching and browsing.
