Abstract

An item pool with multimedia data is a fundamental part of our project, Computerized Adaptive Test System of Chinese Proficiency. This paper presents a design of a multimedia item pool from an object-oriented perspective. It is stressed that the OO approach is especially effective in modeling and managing complex multimedia data. We first introduce our system architecture using the OO-layer method. Multimedia data organization of the database is investigated and detailed class definition is given. The object-oriented SQL-like syntax of the query language is also simply described
