Multimedia question banks consist of questions combined with multimedia features. The questions are often grouped and referred to a common object (ie., images, graphics, video/audio recording). When only one or some of the questions are selected from a set of correlated questions, it will be ideal if only the parts relevant to the questions are presented. This arrangement can be very complex as some questions do not refer to a single segment of the object. Furthermore, some objects have their elements tightly coupled which gives an impact that they cannot be split but must be presented together. The storage and retrieval techniques are discussed in this paper.
