Abstract

A multimedia report is a multimedia presentation which integrates data returned by one or more queries to a multimedia database,thus extending the concept of report familiar in traditional structured databases. In such a scenario information retrieval consists in building a continuous presentation in which the retrieved data are located,connected,synchronized and coherently presented to a user. We discuss modelling of multimedia reports in terms of data co-ordination and synchronization,based on a synchronization model we have defined for specifying complex multimedia presentations. As in a report the user can browse the returned data without loosing consistency,in a multimedia report moving along the presentation time requires appropriate synchronization to be guaranteed.
