Abstract

We describe a multimedia information and communications system called MEDIABASE. The system is under development at the Multimedia Information Laboratory at the University of Ottawa. MEDIABASE comprises three components: a multimedia user interface, a multimedia database client and server for storing, retrieving and updating multimedia documents, and a production server to capture video data and to create multimedia documents. All these components are integrated through a multimedia communications architecture using FDDI and ATM networks
