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.
