Object-oriented approach, with some additional features, has been widely used to model multimedia information. The book discusses two systems that use object-oriented models: OVID (Object Video Information Database) and Jasmine. The models for representing temporal and spatial requirements of media objects are then studied. The book also describes authoring techniques used for specifying temporal and spatial characteristics of multimedia databases. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/strong\u003e explains different types of multimedia queries, the methodologies for processing them and the language features for describing them.
