• Description: This implementation framework called MESSIF eases the task of building metric-based similarity-searching prototypes. It provides a number of modules from storage management to automatic collecting of performance statistics. Due to its open and modular design it is also easy to implement additional modules if necessary. The MESSIF also offers several ready-to-use generic clients that allow to control and test the index structures and also measure its performance.
