Description: "Database Semantics: Semantic issues in Multimedia Systems reflects the state of the art of emerging research on the meaning of multimedia information, as presented during IFIP's Eighth Data Semantics Working Conference (DS-8), organized by its Working Group 2.8 on Databases, and held at Rotorua, New Zealand in January 1999.

DS-8 was planned as an active forum for researchers and practitioners focusing on those issues that involve the semantics of the information represented, stored, and manipulated by multimedia systems. Depending on the topic and state of research, issues may be covered deeply theoretically or quite practically, or even both."--BOOK JACKET.
