The present version of the MIAOW application feature full query capability to retrieve material from the database both using textual or numeric terms, and exploiting the visual aspects of the images of the stored material. The database information retrieval capability was enhanced with the realization of search by similarity and query by colour clicking functions, which provide for setting up interrogation on the basis of the visual aspect of a previously retrieved material and on the basis of a system palette featuring the medium colours of the materials available from the database. The major result achieved by the project is the realization of a full fledged Web application providing a comprehensive information system available on the Internet addressing the needs of all acting professionals in stone market physical characteristics of the material.
