MediaADE : The MHEG-based distribution Multimedia/Hypermedia Application Development Environment

초록

Network technology has been developed rapidly and the use of multimedia data has been increased dramatically. So, we need the multimedia/hypermedia information system that can code multimedia data in order to represent their attributes, save in database and transfer them to the users. In this paper we design distributed multimedia/hypermedia application development environment(MediaADE) so as to satisfy the above requirements. The MediaADE use MHEG standard to represent temporal and spatial synchronization, real-time transmission form, final form representation, and interchangeable form of multimedia data. We design MHEG engine to present coded MHEG object to users. Also, we design the interface of communication and database for the purpose of transmission and storing MHEG object in client/server environment. Finally, we design the API that assists programmers and users to develop distributed multimedia/hypermedia application easily.
