Abstract

A data model for multimedia applications, called MeSOD (metric spatial object data model), is proposed. This model maps entities in the real world onto metric spaces. The MeSOD is motivated by an electronic book system, called the hyperbook system, that enables users to interact with the system using multimedia information. The hyperbook system is introduced and the problems in implementing multimedia communications is indicated. Then the concept and the advantage of the MeSOD are discussed, and an informal definition of the MeSOD is given. The design of the MeSOD´s applications development environment, MADE, is discussed.<>
