2.  Application may be categorized based on their data
management characteristics as follows:
◦ Repository applications:
 Stored multimedia data for retrieval purpose.
 Organized into hierarchy of storage level (local disk, tertiary
disk, optical disk).
◦ Presentation applications:
 Delivered multimedia data to temporal constraints.
 Ex: video and audio.
◦ Collaborative work using multimedia information:
 Execute a complex design task by merging drawings, fitting
subjects to design constraints, and so on.

3. Multimedia information embrace a the
following set of issues:
◦ Modeling:
Modeling the structured and contents of data.
Design:
The conceptual, logical, and physical design.
◦ Storage:
Multimedia data on standard disk-like devices
presents problems of mapping to device hierarchies,
buffering during the input/output operation.

4. ◦ Queries and retrieval:
 Multimedia types are retrieved based on containing certain
object or activity, it is called content-based retrieval.
 Ex: video clip where a soccer goal is scored by a certain player.

DBMS verify the query optimization for multimedia
data.
performance constraints are determined by the user.

EX: Insurance company’s accident claim report as
multimedia object, it includes:
(images of the accident, structured insurance forms, audio
recordings of the parties involved in the accidents,
the text report of thee company’s representative, and other

6. Which data model should be used to represent this data? An How should
queries be formulated against this data?
For hyperlinks data modeling, the system should take
into account different variations.
When content based multimedia data is needed,
query mechanism access to the link and link
associated data.
Semantic web:

7. 2 approaches..
◦ Using image processing techniques.
◦ Assigning index terms using manual indexing.
Information retrieval is based on 3 indexing schemes

Classificatory systems.
Keyword-based systems.
Entity attribute relationship system.

8. Problems in text retrieval
◦ Phrase indexing.
◦ Use of thesaurus.
◦ Resolving ambiguity.
