Many current multimedia database management systems perform content-based retrieval of images by extracting the values of various features from every object stored in their system. This can be time-consuming, especially if extracting the features requires a human to analyze each object. This process can be minimized in multimedia database systems that store images as a sequence of editing operations, called specifications, instead of the usual binary format. This paper discusses the advantages
