Description: Descriptive captions help organize noncompetitive media. But automated use of captions in      retrieval from computerized multimedia databases has not been much examined because it      would seem to require significant natural language processing. We argue that captions can be      naturally expressed in a restricted language whose interpretations is easier than general      natural- language understanding. We describe a multimedia database system that stores      interpreted captions in predicate calculus for each media datum; it then interprets      restricted-language queries, and finds matching media objects.
