Interesting. Some demo links that I found: * http://demo-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/liredemo/ * http://image.mdx.ac.uk/time/demo.php * http://mi-file.isti.cnr.it:8765/CophirSearch/ * http://orpheus.ee.duth.gr/anaktisi/ (not free) * http://youtu.be/2eaGwk4Xhks I suppose one integration pathway would be, you do a normal search, and then from there you can say, find images similar to this search result. Of course if I do https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=bicycle%20red%20flower&fulltext=Search&profile=images , the first result is relavent. But if I plug https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/2009_windowboxes_Bruges_4064497113.jpg/450px-2009_windowboxes_Bruges_4064497113.jpg into http://demo-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/liredemo/ , the results aren't really that relavent. --bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
