Abstract. The management of multimedia documents, which includes storage, indexing, query optimization, and distribution, requires very strong frameworks and policies in order to ensure its efficiency and reliability. There has been much work done in the fields of databases, information retrieval, relevance evaluation, and transaction processing for any kind of data; but these four domains are too often considered separately. This definitely causes a lack of comprehensive distributed information management. We are convinced that much benefit can be obtained by apprehending a global vision of the whole management process through XML. In fact, we want to provide technologies that improve the access to heterogeneous and distributed sources of information for people sharing common interests. In order to deal with detailed and consistent information, we have to consider several layers of metadata related to users, communities, devices, and data sources. This categorized information has thereafter to be handled and efficiently used by applications combining processes from the four operative domains. Then, we claim that it is possible to offer users an appropriate viewpoint of the data, i.e. a personalized, effective, and very accurate access to the information.

摘要：多媒體文件的管理，包括儲存、索引、最佳化查詢與散佈，為了要確保它的有效性與可信度，需要非常強的架構與政策。在資料庫、資訊存取、相關性評估與交易處理的領域中，已經有了許多累積的成果；但是這四個領域常常被個別地考慮。這明確地導致了缺乏一種綜合性的分散式資訊管理。我們相信，透過 XML 針對完整的管理過程建立一個整體的視野會帶來很大的好處。事實上，我們想要提供為想要分享共同興趣的人們增進存取異質分散資訊來源的科技。為了要處理細節和一致的資訊，我們必須要考慮與設計和使用者、社群、設備以及資料來源的數層後設資料。經過分類過後的資訊於是被處理、並且有效率地被結合著來自四個運作領域程序的應用程式所使用。於是，我們宣稱：提供使用者一種對於資料的適當觀點；也就是說，一種個人化的、有效率，而且非常準確的存取資訊，是可能的。
