WebCGM Profile Becomes a W3C Recommendation
Developed in close collaboration between W3C and the CGM Open Consortium, the WebCGM profile reflects cross-industry agreement on an interoperable way to exchange dynamic, hyperlinked Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) files over the Web. "CGM is widely used on intranets, particularly by the engineering and manufacturing communities," says Chris Lilley, Graphics Activity lead. "The WebCGM Profile adds reliable and interoperable hyperlinking to graphics-rich applications such as interactive electronic manuals."
