DS-8 was planned as an active forum for researchers and practitioners  focusing on those issues that involve the semantics of the information  represented, stored, and manipulated by multimedia systems. Depending  on the topic and state of research, issues may be covered either  deeply theoretically or quite practically, or even both. \u003cbr\u003e  These proceedings contain twenty-one papers carefully selected by an  International Programme Committee and organized in six thematic areas:  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eVideo Data Modelling and Use; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eImage  Databases; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eApplications of Multimedia Systems; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMultimedia  Modeling in General; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMultimedia Information Retrieval;  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSemantics and Metadata. \u003cbr\u003e  For almost every area, important topics and issues include: \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003edata  modeling and query languages for media such as audio, video, and  images; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003emethodological aspects of multimedia database design;  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eintelligent multimedia information retrieval; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eknowledge  discovery and data mining in multimedia information; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003emultimedia  user interfaces. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  Three visionary keynote addresses, by famous experts Ramesh Jain,  Hermann Maurer and Masao Sakauchi, set the stage for discussion and  future directions for the field.
