With the growth of World Wide Web, multimedia electronic documents have been frequently used in a lot of applications. Especially, digital libraries that deal with huge and various multimedia electronic documents need to support efficient search techniques and systematical management techniques. In this paper, we suggest an extended Dublin Core metadata to store and search the multimedia electronic documents managed at digital libraries. We also design a document database schema based on the extended Dublin Core metadata and implement a system, called xD-MMS which manages the multimedia electronic documents.
