MRML Information page

While developping the Viper system, it has become apparent that there was a need for a distributed architecture.
We have therefore specified MRML, the Multimedia Retrieval Markup Language. This XML-based protocol is a wrapper for shipping multimedia queries and results between a client and a server.
This way, we obtain a distributed Client-Server architecture.
In this context, Viper is the query processor and does not comprise the query interface.
We have designed different MRML-compliant query interfaces including:
-
Snake Charmer: a Java applet shared with the AudioVisual Communications Lab at EPF Lausanne.
- A PHP interface for easy use over the Internet
- A Perl client for scripting queries
We have also proposed MRML to the MPEG-7 commity in the context of the experimental model (XM).
