Foil 34 T4: Object-oriented Database Support for VRML -- Goal
From Master Foilset for Collaborative and Interactive Visualization Project Overview Kickoff Meeting at NPAC -- October 17,1995. byGeoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Goal: Enable dynamic data, scene contents and object behavior, and dynamic object interaction to support GIS
Current VRML: flat files storage
Disadvantages:
(-) static data;
(-) no user information;
(-) virtual worlds chopped into non-interacting sections;
(-) no incremental world description possible;
(-) no semantic object description, hence limited query possibilities;
Proposed extension:
Use of an object-oriented database system to store
VRML data
