Abstract

Information systems in general manage formatted data, and most of them use databases to store them adequately. While these systems work well, there are new requirements now to improve them towards the inclusion of multimedia data, i.e. images, graphics, video, and audio. Usually, multimedia data are stored in specialized servers which can cope with the requirements of real-time storage and delivery. Applications being developed today, however, need the services of both databases and these media servers. This paper presents a flexible architecture for the integration of media servers and databases into a single system.
