Synopsis

Jasmine is the next generation object-oriented database that features a multimedia development system and promises to deliver the networked multimedia applications of tomorrow. Jasmine integrates a number of key technologies that are going to be pivotal in the next millennium. These technologies include object-oriented databases, multimedia, Internet/Intranets, and visual rapid application development environments.

Jasmine attempts to solve the core problem of information technologies: Managing its complexity, diverse models, multimedia data types, and distributed environments. The various components in Jasmine are bundled together in one cohesive product and thus provide a complete solution. Launched in 1996, Jasmine was developed by, and has the support and backing of two large companies, Fujitsu Limited, the largest software company in Japan, and Computer Associates, the third largest independent software company in the United States.

The Jasmine Object Database is the authoritative and officially endorsed publication on Jasmine. The book covers all major concepts and offers an overview needed by IT managers making investment decisions. It is also essential reading for object-oriented application developers and database administrators who are constructing the next generation of Web-centric applications and want to include a powerful multimedia object database. This group also includes software engineering professionals, information and library scientists and others who need to investigate new technology for their information technology needs.
