A thorough update to the industry standard for designing,developing, and deploying data warehouse and business intelligencesystems The world of data warehousing has changed remarkably since thefirst edition of The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit waspublished in 1998. In that time, the data warehouse industry hasreached full maturity and acceptance, hardware and software havemade staggering advances, and the techniques promoted in thepremiere edition of this book have been adopted by nearly all datawarehouse vendors and practitioners. In addition, the term"business intelligence" emerged to reflect the mission of the datawarehouse: wrangling the data out of source systems, cleaning it,and delivering it to add value to the business. Ralph Kimball and his colleagues have refined the original setof Lifecycle methods and techniques based on their consulting andtraining experience. The authors understand first-hand that a datawarehousing/business intelligence (DW/BI) system needs to change asfast as its sur

In recent years, the proliferation of available video content and the popularity of the Internet have encouraged service providers to develop new ways of distributing content to clients. Increasing video scaling ratios and advanced digital signal processing techniques have led to Internet Video-on-Demand applications, but these currently lack efficiency and quality. Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution examines how current video compression and streaming can be used to deliver high-quality applications over the Internet. In addition to analysing the problems of client heterogeneity and the absence of Quality of Service in the Internet, this book: assesses existing products and encoding formats; presents new algorithms and protocols for optimised on-line video streaming architectures; includes real-world application examples and experiments; sets out a practical ‘toolkit’ for Dynamically Reconfigurable Multimedia Distribution Systems.

The emerging idea of the semantic web is based on the maximum automation of the complete knowledge lifecycle processes: knowledge representation，acquisition，adaptation，reasoning，sharing and use。Text-based based browsers involve a costly information-retrieval process: de*ions are inherently subjective and usage is often confined to the specific application domain for which the de*ions were created。Automatic extracted audiovisual features are，in general，more objective，domain-independent and can be native to the audiovisual content。This book seeks to draw together in one concise volume the findings of leading researchers from around the globe。The focus，in particular，is on the MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standards that seek to consolidate and render effective the infrastructure for the delivery and management of multimedia content。Provides thorough coverage of all relevant topics，including structure identification in audiovisual documents，object-based video indexing，multimedia indexing an
