<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Are any of you familiar with "Model Based
Enterprise"? I've only just heard of it because the S1000D Steering Committee
has recently established a Model Based Enterprise Task Team. I've only just
begun learning about it. There is a website <A
href="http://model-based-enterprise.org/default.aspx">http://model-based-enterprise.org/default.aspx</A> .
It apparently is a U.S. Army Research Laboratory initiative to extend CAD data
through all stages of a product including documentation. Right now it seems they
are using 3DPDF as a delivery format. Perhaps they should be approached about
considering X3D or X3DOM?</FONT></DIV>
