In this paper we propose a new model for moving objects, aimed at handling video sequences in multimedia databases. The model integrates the representations of individual moving objects and the time-varying relationships between multiple moving objects in a scene. Several new query operators are defined within this model. Some examples illustrating the power of the model are provided.
