Analyzing the structure and characteristics of different information items and the relationship between the original object and surrogate representations of it the author extends the principles of cataloguing classification indexing and database structure to different multimedia products identifying the difficulties of providing for multimedia retrieval by organizing data according to subject creator or other characteristics. Theoretical principles and practical guidelines are given for storage of and access to the information content of textual visual audio and integrated multimedia databases.
