Review
This book is a concise but informative work that approaches the multi-faceted subject of distributed multimedia database management from an authoritative and knowledgeable perspective. …This book is invaluable to anyone trying to understand how these technologies come together to deliver quality multimedia access to smart space environments. …it is a must read guide on how to design and implement distributed MPEG-7/MPEG-21-compliant MMDBMS for the future.
-Minaz Parmar, The Computer Journal, Vol. 48, No. 5, 2005

Product Description
A multimedia system needs a mechanism to communicate with its environment, the Internet, clients, and applications. MPEG-7 provides a standard metadata format for global communication, but lacks the framework to let the various players in a system interact. MPEG-21 closes this gap by establishing an infrastructure for a distributed multimedia framework, allowing for the creation, modification, viewing, and communication of digital items among all participants within an MPEG-21 agreement. Now you have a guide that examines the structure and potential usage of these emerging standards. Distributed Multimedia Database Technologies Supported by MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 describes the technologies, concepts, and tools of distributed, content-based multimedia systems. It focuses on the practical uses of the technologies of MPEG and SQL/MM in these components, and on the interoperability among them (for data exchange, transactions, interaction, etc.). This book demonstrates an open distributed multimedia framework that enables these components to cooperate in a working environment, delivering rich multimedia access in an increasingly mobile world.About the AuthorHarald Kosch is an associate professor at the University of Klagenfurt. His domains of interest are distributed multimedia systems, multimedia databases, middleware, and Internet applications. He started research at the École Normale Supèrieure in 1993 during postgraduate study and entered the Ph.D. program in 1994, obtaining his Ph.D. degree in June 1997. He actively participates in the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-7 and MPEG-21 standardization and is involved in several international research projects in the domain of distributed multimedia systems.

3.0 out of 5 stars The only book so far on MPEG and distributed multimedia databases, June 3, 2006
By calvinnme "Texan refugee" (Fredericksburg, Va) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This book is a very academic one about the technologies, concepts, and tools necessary for the design and use of distributed content-based multimedia systems. SQL/MM is an international standards effort to extend SQL to support multimedia applications, including access and manipulation of geographic data. MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 are, respectively, about the indexing/retrieval and distribution of multimedia objects. This book focuses on combining these standard technologies to produce functional and scalable distributed multimedia databases.
Chapter one introduces and focuses on the principles of multimedia data and metadata. Chapter 2 is dedicated to MPEG-7 supported with high-level examples of its use. Likewise, Chapter 3 introduces MPEG-21 and gives high-level examples of its use. From MPEG-7 comes the description of modern multimedia database management systems in chapter 4. Similarly, from MPEG-21 and multimedia databases come the concept of the distributed multimedia systems dealt with in chapter 5. Chapter 6 concludes the book and gives a final global view of a distribution system using these technologies.
This book discusses these technologies at a very high level, since almost none of the concepts discussed in this book have yet been implemented. Currently, it really is the only published work on the subject of distributed multimedia databases and the MPEG technologies, and it is well-written and clear even if somewhat dry. It has an excellent bibliography and references a multitude of web addresses where more information can be found. I would recommend it if you are doing research on the subject, but not if you are looking for practical solutions and examples, since none yet exist.
