Journal/Book: Nachr Dok. 1996; 47: Postfach 40 06, Havelstr 9, D-6100 Darmstadt 1, Germany. Verlag Hoppenstedt & Co. 67-74.

Abstract: AMPHORE is a client server system for the documentation of moving image material. The server mainly is formed by a full text database with SGML capabilities while the clients are PC working places equipped with software for documentation and retrieval of movies and/or movie parts. In AMPHORE, the complete film material is provided in digital form and thus can be used for content-oriented documentation and retrieval in a convenient way. This enables the documentalist to build very detailed indexes allowing access by sequence or even by shot. The film descriptions are based upon a syntactical, thesaurus-controlled indexing which reflects the films' diverse action strings and levels.
