Design and implementation of the content manager in a multimedia streaming framework

Content management in a streaming system is important since it allows users to access media contents more easily by efficiently handling meta information about media contents for the streaming server, web server, and clients. This paper describes a design and implementation of the content manager in Integrated Streaming Service Architecture (ISSA). The proposed content manager is not only to provide these functions efficiently, but also to provide streaming information to the media manager and the transport manager for efficient streaming. Furthermore, it supplies database interface by which ISSA can interwork with BeeHive database.
