A multimedia database management system (MMDBMS) stores and manages multimedia data like text, images, audio, and video. Multimedia data can be stored in three parts - raw data, registering data, and descriptive data. Registering data provides interpretation information, descriptive data describes content and structure, and raw data is the unformatted information content like pixels. An MMDBMS allows input, output, modification, deletion, comparison, and evaluation operations on different multimedia data types. MMDBMS design can be based on object-oriented or entity-relationship database models.
