ABSTRACT
This paper presents a scalable and extendable architecture consisting of the essential building blocks for multimedia information services. It provides building blocks for multimedia transport, storage, retrieval, filtering, and presentation, together with their interdependencies. After presenting the overall architecture, we focus in more detail on the 3-level modeling and querying of multimedia data. Emphasis is placed on the support for a wide variety of modeling and querying techniques in the context of a coherent architecture. The description of the architecture is followed by a description of a possible implementation of the architecture focusing on specific modeling and querying techniques. Finally, the use of the architectural components in a number of example multimedia information retrieval is show.

Query Processing Techniques for Multimedia Presentations
A multimedia presentation is a synchronized, and possibly interactive, delivery of multimedia data to users. We expect that, in the future, multimedia presentations will be stored into and queried from multimedia databases. In an earlier work, we have ...
Multimedia retrieval that matters
Special Sections on the 20th Anniversary of ACM International Conference on Multimedia, Best Papers of ACM Multimedia 2012This article emphasizes the need to refocus multimedia information retrieval (MIR) research towards bridging the utility gap, the gap between the expected and defacto usefulness of MIR solutions. This requires us to revisit the notion of relevance, but ...
A Multimedia Query Specification Language
IW-MMDBMS '95: Proceedings of the International Workshop on Multi-Media Database Management SystemsAbstract: Typically, multimedia applications involve thousands of hours of video, images, audio, text and graphics that need to be stored, retrieved and manipulated in a large multimedia database. There is therefore an important need for novel ...
