Proposal for JPSearch API specification Authors: F. Temmermans and P. Schelkens Publisher: ISO/IEC Publication Year: 2013
Abstract: The JPSearch API is a Restful State (REST) Application Programming Interface, therefore, it is primary intended to be used for web services. Compared to the JPSearch Query Format (JPQF), it does not only specify the query syntax but also the protocols used for sending and retrieving queries. It reduces the complexity of expressing image search queries by providing a simplified syntax to express common queries in the form of URIs. Furthermore, the API allows embedding JPQF queries to express more advanced queries or to use the API solely as a communication protocol for sending and retrieving queries between client and repository. In addition to text based search queries, the API provides functionality to support visual search applications, such as content-based image retrieval systems.
