2. Information Systems:
 All systems whose main purpose is to provide information to a user (or a group of users).
 Six component that must come together in order to produce an Information System. i.e.
1. Hardware, 2. Software, 3. Data, 4. Procedure, 5. People, 6. Feedback

HotWiRED or Time Magazine online)
· Hospital information systems : Patient monitoring systems, multimedia patient databases, mixed reality surgery(e.g.,
virtual reality goggles)
· Navigation and information systems : shopping center /airport and other public spaces offer touch screen
multimedia orientation systems
· Museums : Online catalogs using high definition rendering of paintings, interactive online museum tours (the Virtual
Museum in Victoria or the Paris Louvre WebMuseum offer virtual reality museum trips ).

4. Multimedia Digital Libraries
 A digital library is a collection of documents in organized electronic form, available on the Internet or
on CD-ROM (compact-disk read-only memory) disks. Depending on the specific library, a user may
be able to access magazine articles, books, papers, images, sound files, and videos.
Vicomtech-IK4 research in Multimedia Digital Libraries is centered in the following aspects:
 Trust and Security (including Provenance and Rights Management)
 Experience Creation (including authoring tools, multichannel visualization and interaction and
search/browsing).
