A Methodology for Multimedia Database Design

摘要: In this paper we describe a methodology that have developed to teach multimedia database design. Multimedia databases novel requirements compared with conventional text and numeric databases, in particular the need consider most appropriate physical formats of digital artefacts inherent polysemy media artefacts. However be able model problem at high level abstraction, proceed from conceptual solution, remain essential. The approach here ensures parallel focus on representing both role artefact context database, its technical specification, incorporates into data modelling technique. design documentation produced allow considerations specific implementation deferred as long possible.
