The 9th International World Wide Web Conference.
In the last year there have been considerable changes in the ability to efficiently present graphics on the web. There is a new version of PNG. The CGM Web Profile is now supported by several companies, SVG is due to be launched this Spring, Web3D's new offering X3D will replace VRML. SMIL 2.0 is under development including the SMIL Animation module. The question is do we now have too much of a good thing or are we still missing some essential ingredients? Given SVG, is CGM really needed? Both SMIL and Web3D will support animation as does SVG. Do we need all three? Will Web3D's X3D provide the facilities that the the modelling community wants?
The Transparencies I used as a panelist are available in PowerPoint.
