In this research, the construction of a video database prototype is aimed. This prototype is based on an existent version called Heijo. One of the main purposes of this research is to produce a basic kernel system to be used for future research on video databases. Explanation about Heijo system, the work in which this research is based, is given. Also explanation about the Heijo's problems, uses and necessities are given. We discuss all the technology involved in the creation of Heijo prototype, for example, the video stream format, the database server used, the modules used to communicate with the database, the components used for presenting the video streams to the user, etc. Also we will show the weak points of Heijo and with basis in these points, an explanation about the new characteristics of the new prototype will be presented.
To improve and add a more interactive characteristic to this new version, new technologies are used, namely Dynamic HTML, Dynamic HTML Object Model and Script technology. A presentation of these new technologies and the way they are related and used are given. Next, a description of the new system is given. Finally we discuss the problems found in the implementation of the new prototype and their solutions, and last, we explain some open problems.
