This document specifies version 1 of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 1.0, pronounced “smile”). SMIL allows integrating a set of independent multimedia objects into a synchronized multimedia presentation. Using SMIL, an author can:
describe the temporal behavior of the presentation
describe the layout of the presentation on a screen
associate hyperlinks with media objects
This specification is structured as follows: Section 2 presents the specification approach. Section 2 defines the “smil” element. Section 3

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

[December 19, 2001] W3C Issues WebCGM 1.0 Second Release as a W3C Recommendation. As part of the W3C Graphics Activity, the World Wide Web Consortium has published WebCGM 1.0 Second Release. The specification has been issued in the form of a revised W3C Recommendation which brings WebCGM up to date with the first release errata. WebCGM is "an interoperable way to exchange dynamic Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) files over the Web. The WebCGM Profile adds hyperlinking to graphics-rich applications such as interactive electronic manuals for
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.
