X3D GeoSpatial Working Group
Note: The Geospatial Working Group efforts have evolved into activity by the X3D Earth Working Group. This page is for historical reference only.
Overview
The GeoSpatial Working Group was focused on developing tools and recommended practice for the representation of geographical data using X3D. The goal is to enable geo-referenced data, such as maps and 3-D terrain models, to be viewed in non-spatial applications (e.g. web browsers) and to integrate spatial and non-spatial data through web services.
The GeoSpatial profile in X3D is derived from GeoVRML. It is implemented via the EXTERNPROTO mechanism.
