What is GBDI Arboretum

The GBDI Arboretum is a portable C++ library which implements various metric access method (MAM). By using this library, any application will be able to perform similarity queries (queries by contents) with the minimum efforts possible. Furthermore, it will provide a robust and uniform platform for MAM developers which allows fair comparisons among all methods implemented by this library.

The GBDI Arboretum is now available as an open source software library. See the distribution license for more details.
