Multimedia Data

Data which does not fit the "tabular model":
  • image, video, music, text, ... (and combinations of these)
Research problems:
  • how to specify queries on such data? (image1 ≅ image2)
  • how to "display" results? (synchronize components)
Solutions to the first problem typically:
  • extend notions of "matching"/indexes for querying
  • require sophisticated methods for capturing data features
Sample query: find other songs like this one?
