 Multimedia Database 

A Multimedia database is the collection of interrelated multimedia data that includes text, graphics (sketches, drawings), images, animations, video, audio, etc., and has vast amounts of multisource multimedia data. The framework that manages different types of multimedia data which can be stored, delivered, and utilized in different ways is known as a multimedia database management system.


Challenges to multimedia databases

Modeling: Work in this area can improve the database versus information retrieval techniques.

Design: The physical, conceptual, and logical design of multimedia databases is not addressed entirely leading to performance and tuning issues. Storage: The storage of databases on a standard disc can lead to problems like representation, mapping to disc hierarchies, compression, etc.

Performance: Audio-video synchronization and audio playback applications are where physical limitations dominate. Parallel processing can reduce these problems, but these techniques have not been completely developed yet. Multimedia databases also consume a lot of processing power and bandwidth.

Queries and Retrieval: Multimedia such as images, audio, and video lead to retrieval and query issues such as efficient query formation, query execution, etc. 


Multimedia Database Applications

Documents and record management: Industries that keep a lot of documentation and records. Ex: Insurance claim industry.

Knowledge dissemination: Multimedia database is an extremely efficient tool for knowledge dissemination and providing several resources. Ex: electronic books

Education and training: Multimedia sources can be used to create resources useful in education and training. These are popular sources of learning in recent days. Ex: Digital libraries.

Real-time monitoring and control: Multimedia presentation when coupled with active database technology can be an effective means for controlling and monitoring complex tasks. Ex: Manufacture control

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the three dimensions time, doctor, and patient, and the two measures count and charge, where a charge is the fee that a doctor charges a patient for a visit. a) Draw a schema diagram for the above data warehouse using one of the schemas. [star, snowflake, fact constellation] b) Starting with the base cuboid [day, doctor, patient], what specific OLAP operations should be performed in order to list the total fee collected by each doctor in 2004? c) To obtain the same list, write an SQL query assuming the data are stored in a relational database with the schema fee (day, month, year, doctor, hospital, patient, count, charge)

Solution: a) Star Schema is shown in the figure below: b) First, we should use the roll-up operation to get the year 2004(rolling-up from the day then month to a year). After getting that, we need to use the slice operation to select (2004). Second, we should use roll-up operation again to get all patients. Then, we need to use the slice operation to select (all). Finally, we get a list of the total fee collected by each doctor in 2004. So, 1. roll up from day to month to year 2. slice for year = “2004” 3. roll up on patient from the individual patient to all 4. slice for patient = “all” 5. get the list of the total fees collected by each doctor in 2004 c) Select doctor, Sum(charge) From fee Where year = 2004 Group by doctor
