Abstract.
W
ith the advances in information technology, the amount of multimedia data captured, produced,
and stored is increasing rapidly. As a consequence, multimedia content is widely used for many applications in
today’s world, and hence, a need for organizing this data, and accessing it from repositories with vast amount of
information has been a driving stimulus both commercially and academically. In compliance with this inevitable
trend, first image and especially later video database management systems have attracted a great deal of attention,
since traditional database systems are designed to deal with alphanumeric information only, thereby not being
suitable for multimedia data.
In this paper, a prototype video database management system, which we call
BilVideo

s
introduced. The
system architecture of
BilVideo
is original in that it provides full support for spatio-temporal queries that contain
any combination of spatial, temporal, object-appearance, external-predicate, trajectory-projection, and similarity-
based object-trajectory conditions by a rule-based system built on a knowledge-base, while utilizing an object-
relational database to respond to semantic (keyword, event/activity, and category-based), color, shape, and texture
queries. The parts of

1. Introduction
There is an increasing demand toward multimedia technology in recent years. As multimedia
content (e.g. image, video, and audio) is widely used for many applications in today’s world,
a
need for organizing this data, and accessing it from repositories with vast amount of
information has been a driving stimulus both commercially and academically. In compliance
with this inevitable trend, first image and especially later video database management
systems have attracted a great deal of attention, since traditional database systems are not
suitable to be used for multimedia data.
