Abstract :
Spatial information systems increasingly require incorporation of multimedia data types. Pictures, sounds, animated sequences, and unstructured text may form an integral part of geographically located entities in information systems. An example ecological application with extensive multimedia requirements illustrates how multimedia data can be integrated with spatial information systems in a generic, application-independent manner
