[x3d-public] X3D Ontology release: updated libraries, two books of interest

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Am happy to report updated release of X3D Ontology distribution.  The ontology itself remains stable, we slowly keep improving tools and tests that show how it works.


  *   The X3D Ontology for Semantic Web provides terms of reference for semantic query of X3D models.
  *   https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/semantics/semantics.html

Updated internal libraries include Saxon 10.6 for XSLT transformations and Apache Jena ARQ for queries.  As usual, also tested in Protégé (screenshot attached).

All unit tests pass as shown in build logs.  Version-control diff (differencing) history reveals problems and progress.

  *   https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/semantics/build.all.log.txt

Two interesting new references inform our thinking on this work.

Recent work includes mapping Dublin Core document metadata from X3D meta elements into native expressions.  We also hope to sort out a few XMP issues soon.  Lots more long-term work to continue after that.

Have fun developing model queries using X3D Ontology!  8)

all the best, Don
