MME

• Objects

  • application (AO), multimedia (MO)
  • media objects handle the transfer of media data from a set of ports (source) to another set of ports (sinks)
  • ports (devices like VCR, windows, files or sockets)
  • complex media objects handle the definition and maintenance of relations (temporal and spatial) objects

• MME is realized by executing:

  • instantiation of media objects out of predefined multimedia classes
  • instantiation of complex media objects to define spatial/temporal
  • definition of new media classes as subclasses of predefined objects and classes
