Oracle interMedia
Overview by Omar Alonso, Omar.Alonso@oracle.com, 650-607-3410:
Briefly, Oracle interMedia extends Oracle8i to manage rich content,
including text, documents, image, audio, video, and
geographic location, together with traditional business information.
interMedia is a standard feature of Oracle8i. It is included with every
Oracle8i license, and provides content services to JDeveloper, Oracle
Developer, iFS, WebDB, Oracle applications and Oracle partners.
Using interMedia services it is possible to . . .
- Use standard SQL to index and search text and documents stored in
Oracle8i, in files and on the Web, including
metadata associated with rich content, to provide retrieval capabilities
fundamental to Web and other applications.
- Parse, index, and load rich content in Oracle8i and deploy to the Web with
support for popular web page composition tools, web server technologies, and
Web media formats (e.g., GIF, JPG, AU, WAV, MP3, QT, Real) delivered in
either batch or streaming modes.
- Develop dynamic Web applications with rich media content using interMedia
APIs for Java, C++ and PL/SQL.
- Tune Oracle8i based content repositories to achieve scalability and
reliability superior to o.s. file based systems.
