           "Multimedia document retrieval in the MULTOS system"

Information objects containing formatted data, text, images, graphics and
voice are usually reffered to as multimedia documents. The design of a
filing system for multimedia office documents has to address a number of
issues including the definition of a suitable data model and query
language, content-based retrieval, man-machine interaction, support of the
document life cycle, huge storage requirements and document classification.
MULTOS is an ESPRIT project concerned with the design of a multimedia
office filing system. This talk will comprise an overview of the MULTOS
prototype system and a discussion of the document retrieval function
including access methods and user interface design.
