“…However, the rates do not apply to all known data types [for example, MIDI files or groups of pictures (GOPs) in MPEG GOPs], nor to the user's view on pieces of the media he works with. These pieces of media are known as logical data units (LDU) and may describe continuous media at various levels of granularity (Steinmetz and Fritzsche 1991) such as video composed of scenes or music composed of notes.…”

Abstract. Time-dependent data, defined by the attributes start time and duration can describe continuous media. A short theoretical analysis of sets of time-dependent data forms the first part of this paper. The results are three normal forms of continuous media data. In the second part, a data model for continuous media called Sequence is defined according to the theory presented. Not only does this model implement the data structure, it also inculdes operations that apply generally to continuous media data. The third part of the paper is a short overview showing how to integrate time-dependent data as Sequences into database systems.

“…Apart from Items, frameworks such HeiMAT [9], DAVE [5], and Simon Gibbs' framework [2] have also concentrated on multimedia application models ('architectures'). In Items, further modeling support exists in order to express the interrelation between different configurations (e.g., in the workflow sense).…”

Multimedia has become a topic of high interest, and R&D contributions to multimedia fill piles of CD-ROMs, journals and books. Out in the jield, howevel; only a comparatively small set of out-of-the-box niche multimedia applications is used; developing customized multimedia applications, tuned to the needs of a particular organization, remains much of a myth, not to speak of integrated enterprises in which full-size multimedia information and communication is used throughout. The MMSD workshop has been organized as an attempt to help filling the gap between the availability of multimedia solutions and their customized, integrated use in the field. This introductory article positions MMSD in the range of multimedia R&D domains, recalls the categories of contributions relevant to sofhvare development in general ( 'solution space'), describes particular characteristics of multimedia software ('problem space') together with corresponding sample research contributions, and positions the contributions to the workshop in these spaces.
