The size of multimedia data is increasing
fast due to the abundance of multimedia
applications. Modeling the semantics of
the data effectively is crucial for proper
management of it. In this paper, we
present a fuzzy conceptual data model for
multimedia data which is also generic in
the sense that it can be adapted to all
multimedia domains. The model takes an
object-oriented approach and it handles
fuzziness at different representation
levels where fuzziness is inherent in
multimedia applications and should be
properly modeled. The proposed model
also has the nice feature of representing
the structural hierarchy of multimedia
data as well as the spatial and temporal
relations of the data. The model is applied
to the news video domain and
implemented as a fuzzy multimedia
database system where it turns out to be
effective in representing this domain and
thereby provides an evidence for the
general applicability of the model.
