XML knowledge database of MRI-derived eye models

In a model-based approach, MR images were used to build a database of individual eye models. In order to store the features of the specific eye morphology in an extensible, structured and Internet-accessible database, an appropriate XML structure was implemented. A document type definition was developed that managed the data of the correlated feature space and defined associations via training data sets. The classification and retrieval system has been implemented in Java and successfully applied to classify data sets. Classified data were then added to the database. The presented approach can be easily transferred to similar classification implementations.
