Multimedia Information Systems- a Comparison Perspective of Social Websites

Abstract

In ISs, resource objects like databases are distributed and replicated in order to increase performance, reliability and availability. In an earlier work, the author extended the earl/er existing taxonomy of ISs. In this paper, the authors have revised the taxonomy further by including WIS, SWIS and MMIS. We shall discuss various characteristics of MMIS and the effects of the network on the required quality of presentation for MMIS. MMIS input strings provide an efficient means for iconic indexing of the temporal/spatial relations of media streams and semantic objects. Today more information sources become available as MMISs. Hence, the development of abstract semantic models for video, audio, text, graphics and image data became very important. In this paper, we have tabulated a comparison study of a variety of MMISs web sites. It is found that most of the modern web sites use the maximum degree of multimedia support. Keywords: Information Systems (WSs), Multimedia Information Systems (MMISs), Web Information Systems (WISs), Social Web Information Systems (SWISs].
