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: \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.
