Abstract

This paper presents the main features of the image database El Niño. The main characteristic of El Niño is its search model which, rejecting the idea of querying image databases, proposes an approach based on a mix of browsing and querying that we call exploration. This paper presents the interface and query models of El Niño, as well as some of the architectural issues deriving from our query model.
