Nowadays it is common to combine low-level and semantic data for image retrieval. The images are stored in databases and computer graphics algorithms are employed to get the pictures. Most of the works consider both aspects separately. In this work, using the capabilities of a commercial ORDBMS a reference architecture was implemented for recovering images, and then a performance analysis is realized using several index types to search some specific semantic data stored in the database via RDF triples. The experiments analyzed the mean recovery time of triples in tables having a hundred of thousands to millions of triples. The performance obtained using Bitmap, B-Tree and Hash Partitioned indexes are analyzed. The results obtained with the experiences performed are implemented in the reference architecture in order to speed up the pattern search.
