WebCGM 2.0 Is a W3C Recommendation and OASIS Standard

The World Wide Web Consortium and OASIS today jointly released WebCGM 2.0 as a Recommendation and Standard. Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is an ISO standard used to interchange two dimensional vector and mixed vector-raster graphics for technical illustration, documentation and data visualization. WebCGM is a profile of CGM that adds Web linking and is optimized for Web applications used in defense, aviation, architecture, and transportation industries. Already widely implemented, version 2.0 adds DOM access to WebCGM objects and an XML Companion File (XCF) for external data, and extends graphical and intelligent content.
