Thomas C. Rakow, P. Muth · 1993
The V3 Video Server is a demonstration showing a multimedia application developed on top of the VODAK database management system. VODAK is a prototype of an object-oriented and distributed database management system (DBMS) developed at GMD-IPSI. The V3 Video Server allows a user to interactively store, retrieve, manipulate, and present analog and short digital video clips. A video clip consists of a sequence of pictures and corresponding sound. Several attributes like author, title, and a set of keywords are annotated. The highlights of the demonstration are as follows. (1) It is shown that an object-oriented database management systems is very useful for the development of multimedia applications. (2) The video server gives valuable hints for the development of an object-oriented database management system in direction to a multimedia database management system.
