Call for Review: WebCGM 2.1 Proposed Recommendation Published
14 January 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8696
The WebCGM Working Group has published a Proposed
Recommendation of "WebCGM 2.1." Computer Graphics Metafile
(CGM) is an ISO standard, defined by ISO/IEC 8632:1999, for the
interchange of 2D vector and mixed vector/raster graphics.
WebCGM is a profile of CGM, which adds Web linking and is
optimized for Web applications in technical illustration,
electronic documentation, geophysical data visualization, and
similar fields. WebCGM 2.1, refines and completes the features
of the major WebCGM 2.0 release. WebCGM 2.0 added a DOM (API)
specification for programmatic access to WebCGM objects, a
specification of an XML Companion File (XCF) architecture, and
extended the graphical and intelligent content of WebCGM 1.0.
Comments are welcome through 31 January. Learn more about the
Graphics Activity.

has re-elected Ashok Malhotra (Oracle) and Henry Thompson (U.
of Edinburgh) to the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG).
Continuing TAG participants are John Kemp (Nokia), Larry
Masinter (Adobe), T.V. Raman (Google). The Director is also
