Abstract
This document describes a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for
the Web3D Consortium (Web3D) for naming persistent resources such as
technical documents and specifications, Virtual Reality Modeling
Language (VRML) and Extensible 3D (X3D) files and resources,
Extensible Markup Language (XML) Document Type Definitions (DTDs),
XML Schemas, namespaces, style sheets, media assets, and other
resources produced or managed by Web3D.
1. Introduction
Web3D is a non-profit organization with a mandate to develop and
promote open standards to enable 3D for the Internet, Web and
broadcast applications. Web3D is responsible for developing,
advancing, and maintaining the VRML97 ISO/IEC International Standard
(ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997), X3D (the forthcoming official successor to
VRML) and related technologies.
Web3D maintains and extends its standardization activities through
the coordinated efforts of dedicated Working Groups, Task Groups, and
professional Liaisons to related standards bodies such as ISO, W3C,
and MPEG. See http://web3d.org/ for details.
Web3D would like to assign unique, permanent, location-independent
names based on URNs for some resources it produces or manages.
This namespace specification is for a formal namespace.
