From the Back Cover

Multimedia Data Management: Using Metadata to Integrate and Apply Digital Media brings together the foremost experts from around the world to give you the latest developments in managing digital media in information systems. This book offers real guidance on creating and using metadata--data that's extracted from data to be stored--for use in the complex job of managing multimedia. Packed with new insights, new technologies, and information on practices and standards, Multimedia Data Management brings you up to speed on metadata definitions, types, and tactics of all variety of digital media, including images, maps, video, and speech. This state-of-the-art guide to managing multimedia digital data takes you on an incisive and up-to-the-minute tour of metadata discoveries. And it clearly shows you areas waiting to be explored. This book gives an in-depth view of such tasks as: organizing and indexing a collection of digital images for efficient querying, navigation, and browsing; exploiting hierarchical, spatial, temporal, and evolutionary semantics for representing and accessing medical images; simultaneously accessing speech and text documents; using standards and research extensions in representing, storing, and exchanging geo-spatial and environmental data; characterizing video metadata by the analysis of applications and the nature of queries, for content-based processing; rendering personalized video delivery; using mixed-media to formulate queries in different media types; building and exploiting indexing vocabularies and ontologies; achieving interoperability in digital libraries and repositories of various media. In the words of the editors, this book takes you on a "journey towards infocosm, a society in which people will have information anywhere, and time, and in many forms, for effective decision-making, better learning, and more fun."
