This paper describes Image Engine, an object-oriented, microcomputer-based, multimedia database designed to facilitate the storage and retrieval of digitized biomedical still images, video, and text using inexpensive desktop computers. The current prototype runs on Apple Macintosh computers and allows network database access via peer to peer file sharing protocols. Image Engine supports both free text and controlled vocabulary indexing of multimedia objects. The latter is implemented using the TView thesaurus model developed by the author. The current prototype of Image Engine uses the National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary (with UMLS Meta-1 extensions) as its indexing thesaurus.
本文介绍了图像引擎，这是一个基于微型计算机的面向对象多媒体数据库，旨在利用价格低廉的台式计算机方便地存储和检索数字化生物医学静态图像、视频及文本。当前的原型在苹果麦金塔计算机上运行，并允许通过对等文件共享协议进行网络数据库访问。图像引擎支持对多媒体对象进行自由文本索引和受控词汇索引。后者是使用作者开发的TView叙词表模型实现的。图像引擎的当前原型使用美国国立医学图书馆的医学主题词表（MeSH）词汇（带有统一医学语言系统（UMLS）Meta-1扩展）作为其索引叙词表。
