    abstract = { In this paper we introduce and describe the Multimedia Retrieval MarkupLanguage (MRML). This XML-based markup language is the basis foran open communication protocol for content-based image retrievalsystems (CBIRSs). MRML was initially designed as a means of separatingCBIR engines from their user interfaces. It is, however, also extensibleas the basis for standardised performance evaluation procedures.Such a tool is essential for the formulation and implementation ofcommon benchmarks for CBIR. A common protocol can also bring newdynamics to the CBIR field --- it makes the development of new systemsfaster and more efficient, and opens the door of the CBIR researchfield to other disciplines such as Human-Computer Interaction. TheMRML specifications, as well as the first MRML-compliant applications,are freely available and are introduced in this paper. },
