Multimedia and Hypermedia Information Object: Object Oriented MHEG Standard

Multimedia information technology has become popular, conventional database system do not offer adequate support for modeling, indexing and manipulation of multimedia data. As a next step towards an object oriented representation of knowledge the authors focus on the concept of MHEG Object. The proof of concept can be implemented, which is based on a set of MHEG standards, entities and a few existing terminologies. In this paper, they present an approach of an object-oriented by means of MHEG to implement the classes for multimedia object. In particular they shown different characteristics of real world entity as a single object which plays different roles and proposes the right level of abstraction of the resources and data representation.
