abstract = {In this paper we introduce and describe the Multimedia
Retrieval Markup Language (MRML). This XML-based markup language is
the basis for an open communication protocol for content-based image
retrieval systems (CBIRSs). MRML was initially designed as a means of
separating CBIR engines from their user interfaces. It is, however,
also extensible as the basis for standardised performance evaluation
procedures.
Such a tool is essential for the formulation and implementation of
common benchmarks for CBIR. A common protocol can also bring new
dynamics to the CBIR field --- it makes the development of new systems
faster and more efficient, and opens the door of the CBIR research
field to other disciplines such as Human-Computer Interaction. The
MRML specifications, as well as the first MRML-compliant applications,
are freely available and are introduced in this paper.},
