A New Information Systems Model Based on Data Management

Visual information system contains a large number of non-alphanumeric information, which is radical departure from the largely text-based example of conventional information systems. For the effective work of information systems, data retrieval and management mechanisms play a key role, as well as a key requirement, such a system is able to search and find information on the efficiency of the approach. However, for visual information systems, in which most of the data and the relationship is the non-alphanumeric, finding the right information brings new challenges. In particular, the database storage structure of the visual information significantly is different from the traditional information systems. Here, the major functions and components of the database management for visual information system are introduced.

1. Introduction

A principal requirement of an organizational information system is to provide timely information that can be easily applied to solving management problems. Current information systems support only a limited number of data types, and do not provide competent facilities for the search and management of multimedia information, except in a very superficial way. Conventional information systems are text-oriented which aim to provide useable reports, documents, and decision-making information for all levels of the management hierarchy within an organization. However, this type of information system is gradually becoming obsolete. Diverse forms of visual information are increasingly preferred as an effective mode of representing and communicating information, and traditional information systems will be superseded by visual information systems [1] which are made up of a set of subsystems that captures, processes, stores, analyses, condense, and disseminates information in visual and non-visual forms.
