Abstract
In this book, the term media is often treated in a very broad sense and refers to the nature of information perceived by humans. Media data is acquired through various sensors (e.g., camera, microphone) sensing the real-world, or synthesized using computers, or directly created by humans (e.g., news articles, blogs, tweets). Subsequently, media data may be subject to processing, compression, storage, delivery, analysis, retrieval, security protection, etc. Multimedia represents the emphasis on large varieties of data types. In this chapter, we discuss the different types of multimedia on the web, their purpose, formats and what sort of information they contain.
