In 1989 the Air Transport Association (ATA) adopted Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) as the format for the interchange of 2-dimensional vector based technical illustrations in maintenance documentation. Both The Boeing Company and United Airlines, along with much of the rest of the industry, use CGM internally to transfer 2-dimensional vector data between diverse systems. The decision to use CGM, both at the industry level and by individual companies, was made after a review of available open and proprietary formats. Requirements for creation,

Name of the TC: OASIS CGM Open WebCGM TC Technical Committee Statement of Purpose: The CGM Open WebCGM TC is chartered to carry out the technical work of the OASIS CGM Open Member Section. That technical work originated with the technical agenda of the former CGM Open Consortium Inc, which since January 2004 has been reorganized and integrated into OASIS as the OASIS CGM Open Member Section. The purpose of the CGM Open WebCGM TC is to accelerate the further adoption, application, and implementation of the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM),

After more than five years of successful cooperation with OASIS as an affiliate, CGM Open has transitioned to become a Member Section of the OASIS global standards consortium. With the inaugural meeting of its OASIS CGM Open WebCGM Technical Committee, CGM Open has taken the next step, launching an aggressive agenda built around advanced development and interoperability of the well-established WebCGM standard.WebCGM version 1.0, a vector graphics standard used in online technical documents such as parts catalogs and electronic manuals, was produced by a

Abstract CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) has been an ISO standard for vector and composite vector/raster picture definition since 1987. It has been a registered MIME type since 1995. CGM has a significant following in technical illustration, electronic documentation, geophysical data visualization, amongst other application areas. WebCGM is a profile for the effective application of CGM in Web electronic documents. WebCGM has been a joint effort of the CGM Open Consortium, in collaboration with W3C staff and supported by the European Commission

Abstract 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. First published (1.0) in 1999 and followed by a second (errata) release in 2001, WebCGM unifies potentially diverse approaches to CGM utilization in Web document applications. It therefore represents a

The Structure of a WebCGM A WebCGM is a Version 1, 2, 3, or 4 CGM as defined in ISO/IEC 8632:1999, with some restrictions. The restrictions improve the interoperability of WebCGM, and simplify the production of WebCGM interpreter (viewer) tools. A WebCGM, as shown in Figure 1, consists of one or more Pictures. Each picture contains CGM graphic elements, as well as (optionally) Application Structures. Application Structures define objects within each picture, which are comprised of groups of graphical primitives. These intelligent objects may

Introduction For years, companies, industry groups, and government organizations have used Computer Graphics Metafiles (CGMs) for storing and exchanging 2D graphics. CGM is a format defined by the International standard ISO/IEC 8632:1992 for digitally describing vector, raster, and hybrid (raster and vector) graphic pictures very compactly. It has proven to be a very good format for the technical illustrations in electronic documentation, geophysical data visualization, and other demanding 2-dimensional graphics presentation applications. About

CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) has been an ISO standard for vector and composite vector/raster picture definition since 1987. CGM has a significant following in technical illustration, interactive electronic documentation, geophysical data visualization, amongst other application areas and is widely used in the fields of automotive engineering, aeronatics, and the defence industry. WebCGM is a profile for the effective application of CGM in Web electronic documents. WebCGM has been a joint effort of the CGM Open Consortium, in collaboration with
