Subject: Request for a public review of First CD of WebCGM 2.1


Mary,

The First Committee Draft of WebCGM 2.1 was approved by the WebCGM TC
for publication and public review. (See
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27728/20080327_WebCGM_
TC_Telecon_minutes.doc)

Abstract for WebCGM 2.1:
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, WebCGM unifies potentially diverse approaches
to CGM utilization in Web document applications. It therefore represents
a significant interoperability agreement amongst major users and
implementers of the ISO CGM standard.
The present version, WebCGM 2.1, refines and completes the features of
the major WebCGM 2.0 release. WebCGM 2.0 added a DOM (API) specification
for programmatic access to WebCGM objects, a specification of an XML
Companion File (XCF) architecture, and extended the graphical and
intelligent content of WebCGM 2.0.
The design criteria for WebCGM aims at a balance between graphical
expressive power on the one hand, and simplicity and implementability on
the other. A small but powerful set of standardized metadata elements
supports the functionalities of hyperlinking and document navigation,
picture structuring and layering, and enabling search and query of
WebCGM picture content.

Please check for correctness and submit for OASIS Public Review.  We are
working against a timeline leading up to a f2f meeting in late May, so
we would appreciate it if you could start the Public Review as soon as
possible.  If there are any questions or problems, contact Lofton
Henderson and myself.
