Foil 37 Database Support for VRML
From Overview of VRML SC95 Tutorial on Web Technologies -- December 4,95. byNPAC Team * 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 fixed-size sections;
- no semantic object description, hence limited query possibilities;
Proposed extension:
use of an object-oriented database system to store VRML data
