Abstract

Component composition (aggregation) and decomposition are often considered as two sides of the same coin. This article shows that two types of whole-part relationships, one based on composition and the other based on decomposition can be used beneficially to model temporal and spatial relationships of multimedia data. The properties of these relationships are discussed and it is shown how they can be embedded into the content layer of a hypermedia database management system.
