Retrieval method and system of multimedia database
First Claim
1. A data management method in a database system storing a plurality of objects and first link information representing reference relationships among said plurality of objects, said method comprising the steps of:
- generating and storing second link information indicating a link with retrieval information and an object for retrieving the object;
detecting a change of said first link information;
generating retrieval information indicated by a link in said second link information given to a source object of the changed first link information, if the first link information is changed; and
generating and storing changed second link information indicating a link with said retrieval information and a destination object of said changed first link information.

Abstract
A multimedia database system effectively retrieves the contents in an optional storage position of an optional medium among a large amount of video and audio media. When a user puts an annotation to a specific range of a medium, the system registers an annotation object comprising the object ID of the target medium, specific range, and annotation information in a table. Next, when an annotation is put to a specific range of a medium once, the system automatically produces annotation objects for all media in the citation relation to it. The system manages the link relation between the citation destination and the citation source by a management table which is newly installed. The system retrieves the table and displays an annotation list coincident with the retrieval condition.
