One of the major problems in CBIR is the so-called `semantic gap':
the difference between low-level features, extracted from images, and the
high-level `information need' of the user. Reaching that goal can be regarded as
a quest for similar `concepts', where a concept is loosely defined as ``what
words (or images) stand for, signify, or mean'' [1]. We first seek to establish
a metaphysical basis for CBIR. We look at ontological questions, such as `what
is similarity?' and `what is an image?' in the context of CBIR. We will
investigate these questions via thought experiments. We will argue that the
meaning of an image-the concept it stands for-rests on at least three
pillars: what actually can be seen on an image (its ontology), convention and
imagination.
