While pages on the Web contain more and more multimedia information, such as images, videos and audio, today's search engines are mostly based on textual information. There is an emerging need for a new generation of search engines that try to exploit the full multimedia information present on the Web. The approach presented in this paper is based on a multimedia model intended to describe the various multimedia components, their structure and their relationships with a pre-defined taxonomy of concepts, in order to support the information retrieval process.
To create efficiencies in the production process of revisable multimedia systems it is necessary to define processes for the control of content revision and regeneration with a workflow control of these processes. A model for managing Multimedia Run-time Systems (MRS) is presented as consisting of a revision control strategy for managing primary resources. Regeneration processes that move data from one process to the next incorporating derivative resources on the way, and ultimately producing run-time resources, and a workflow control process to regulate and maintain the integrity of the regeneration process. A case study of one approach to tackling these problems is presented. This MRS, known as the English to Basque Learning Environment (EBLE), is a reference library of three books and concomitant sound files for second language learning of Basque.
Blunt trauma abdomen rarely leads to gastrointestinal injury in children and isolated gastric rupture is even rarer presentation. We are reporting a case of isolated gastric rupture after fall from height in a three year old male child.
