Abstract :
The paper presents the main features of the image database El Nino. The main characteristic of El Nino 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. The paper presents the interface and query models of El Nino, as well as some of the architectural issues deriving from our query model
