Abstract: A number of emerging applications are increasing the importance of document and multimedia data. Electronic digital libraries, image and video repositories, and electronic commerce catalogs are all examples of these applications. At the same time, technological developments, such as the standardization of XML, the realization of broadband networks with sufficient bandwidth, increasing availability of economical imaging and video equipment, open up new and interesting possibilities for the users. The management of documents and multimedia data can benefit from database technology. In this talk, I will discuss some of the ways database technology can be deployed in this domain and the issues that need to be worked on.
