Recent years witness a phenomenal growth of multimedia data in various modalities, such as image, video, audio, and graphic, which poses a challenge of finding an efficient information retrieval technology. Rather than monotonous, single-modal information, users would like to have a multimodal system to query multimedia documents. In this paper, we present our propositions in two parts, the first part consist on a conceptual model to define semantic relations between multimedia documents. The second part defines an extension of XQuery language to support multimodal querying.
