Abstract: Systems and methods to modify images, extract features, convert image to text and vice versa, etc., includes deriving multimedia operations from requirements (e.g., resize, crop as modification, mark artifacts in image, face detection for query), and extending current integration foundations (i.e., integration patterns) by new patterns and uses for multimedia along the identified requirements for read, write, update, query operations. Conditions and expressions are defined for pattern configuration and execution as semantic, application-level constructs (e.g., detect face on image, extract address or account data). Patterns to a language are composed with embedded multimedia operations and configuration constructs.
