Most public image retrieval engines utilise
free-text search mechanisms, which often return inaccurate matches as
they in principle rely on statistical analysis of query keyword recurrence
in the image annotation or surrounding text. In this paper we present
a semantically-enabled image annotation and retrieval engine that relies
on methodically structured ontologies for image annotation, thus allowing
for more intelligent reasoning about the image content and subsequently
obtaining a more accurate set of results and a richer set of alternatives
matchmaking the original query. Our semantic retrieval technology is
designed to satisfy the requirements of the commercial image collections
market in terms of both accuracy and efficiency of the retrieval process.
We also present our efforts in further improving the recall of our retrieval
technology by deploying an efficient query expansion technique.
