Abstract
The advancement of motion recording, analysis and synthesis techniques, together with the standardization of respective data formats, constitutes a solid foundation for research based on motion data sets in the context of various disciplines. However, most of the motion data sets available offer groups of files as acquired from the motion capture systems. The problem with such data is that it usually represents a single viewpoint, its context varies and is more or less implicit, and the lack of functionality implemented atop of such data set limits the data analysis and search potential. This encourages us to look at this problem domain from the database management systems (DBMS) state of the art point of view. In this paper, we outline some important aspects of applying a DBMS to motion data with the aim to provide a highly universal, extensible, shareable and searchable resource. To avoid being locked into a specific area of application, we take a very abstract view of the data and attempt to assure, a versatility and genericity of the resulting system.
