Requirements Analysis: Multimedia Data and Databases

Abstract

Multimedia database system technologies provide an overview of architectures for multimedia database management. In this report we discuss different dimensions in the following aspects: firstly, we give an explanation of requirements engineering and analyses in the context of software engineering; this covers such topics as requirements gathering testing and SOLID principles. Next, there is an introduction to requirements analysis for multimedia data management. Finally, we discuss multimedia database management architectures, models, and functions, which include query processing, metadata management, and storage management. There is too much to write about multimedia data management and an effort has been made to provide as much information as possible. This is because, in the fields of e-commerce, news, television programs, conversation and social media, multimedia databases exist and the amount of information they store can only increase. We discuss various multimedia database management technologies, which include architectures, data modelling, query processing, metadata management, storage management, and data distribution. Essentially, we examine the functions of database systems and discuss the impact of managing multimedia data. Recent progress in multimedia database systems management and associated commercial database system products are also discussed.
