In this chapter, we present a basic introduction to two very important areas of research in the domain of Information Technology, namely, video data management and video information retrieval. Both of these areas need additional research efforts to seek solutions to many unresolved problems for efficient data management and information retrieval. We discuss those issues and relevant works done so far in these two fields. INTRODUCTION An enormous amount of video data is being generated these days all over the world. This requires efficient and effective mechanisms to store, access, and retrieve these data. But the technology developed to date to handle those issues is far from the level of maturity required. Video data, as we know, would contain image, audio, graphical and textual data. The first problem is the efficient organization of raw video data available from various sources. There has to be proper consistency in data in the sense that data are to be stored in a standard format for access and retrieval. Then comes the issue of compressing the data to reduce the storage space required, since the data could be really voluminous. Also, various features of video data have to be extracted from low-level features like shape, color, texture, and spatial relations and stored efficiently for access. 701 E.
