Multimedia Database Systems

TLDR
This work has discussed various conceptual models to specify one key requirement for multimedia databases, which is the process of temporal synchronization, and has highlighted their capabilities and limitations.
Abstract
One of the requirements of multimedia database systems is that they will need a data model more powerful than the relational model, without compromising its advantages. The relational data model exhibits limitations in terms of complex object support, type system, and object management. To address these issues, we have emphasized one key requirement for multimedia databases, which is the process of temporal synchronization. We have discussed various conceptual models to specify this requirement and have highlighted their capabilities and limitations. Still, a number of other issues need to be faced before multimedia database systems become a reality.
