abstract = {The retrieval of images by content is rapidly gaining
acceptance as an important function of image database systems. This
paper discusses the architecture of $I^2Cnet$, a network of servers
which provide content-based query services through a WWW browser. In
$I^2Cnet$, algorithms for the representation, storage, and retrieval of
medical images based on different descriptions of image content are
implemented using description types. AttributeMatch, a description
type supported by $I^2C$, aims to capture the knowledge of medical
experts in queries by using a similarity criterion which can be
tailored to user preferences. We present results showing the query
response time of AttributeMatch, obtained with image classes of various
sizes, and the degree of similarity of retrieved images to the query
image under different similarity criteria.},
