Improvements in technology have increased the amount of human interactive
systems that support visual and audial operations. Besides many others, especially
the recent entertainment industry has been built on the digital world and processing
large collections of multimedia materials. Having huge amount multimedia data
revealed the need for efficient and effective ways of modeling, storing, addressing,
and retrieving such huge data, mostly, the semantic contents in it. Although there
are some database management systems that support multimedia objects by some
add-ons or extensions, they are far away from satisfying user requests, which are
usually based on similarity and semantic contents.
In this study, the requirements of multimedia databases are analyzed. To satisfy
such requirements, a database architecture which is specialized for multimedia
objects is constructed and a conceptual data model, handling semantic multimedia
contents is implemented. In the architecture, a semantic information extractor, a
high-dimensional index structure and an intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database
component are integrated through a coordinator structure. The proposed architecture
is realized and a prototype system is implemented by tightly coupling several
multimedia modules.
