Personal collections of digital media have been growing ever larger, leaving users overwhelmed with data. Learning from the resounding success of multi-dimensional analysis in the business intelligence community, we propose a novel multi-dimensional model for media browsing, called ObjectCube. We describe the data model in detail, demonstrate its performance using a prototype media server applied to large collections of media, and show that the ObjectCube data model enables many interesting and useful browsing scenarios that are not possible with current media browsers.
