Abstract

Multimedia database systems have become more and more important asthe tool to extract and generate additional values from multimedia’Contents‘. In this paper, four multimedia database systems areproposed from the view point of promising contents sources; theNetwork multimedia databases, the Stream MM database systems, theLibrary MM database systems, and the Real world MM databasesystems. Important problems to be solved, i.e., ’what to do‘, are alsodiscussed for each databases. Three concrete multimedia systems byauthors‘ research group, are then introduced and discussed as theembodiments of these multimedia systems; (1) the open Global ImageRetrieval and Linking System, GIRLS, for mediation WWW data pace asthe network MM database systems, (2) the flexible multimedia databaseplatform GOLS, and (3) the higher level authoring system for theStream MM environments.
