An XML Data Model for Inverted Image Indexing

The Internet world makes increasing use of XML-based technologies. In multimedia data indexing and retrieval, the MPEG-7 standard for Multimedia Description Scheme is specified using XML. The flexibility of XML allows users to define other markup semantics for special contexts, construct data-centric XML documents, exchange standardized data between computer systems, and present data in different applications. In this paper, the Inverted Image Indexing paradigm is presented and modeled using XML Schema.
