Abstract
A first apparatus, which does not mount any metadata generation unit generating metadata used to specify image data from the image data, and a second apparatus, which mounts the metadata generation unit, are connected via a network in the image processing system. The first apparatus stores image data. The first apparatus requests the second apparatus to generate metadata associated with the stored image data, and the metadata generation unit mounted in the second apparatus generates metadata. The first apparatus requests the second apparatus to retrieve image data using the generated metadata, and a retrieval unit mounted in the second apparatus executes a high-level retrieval.
