چکیده

Recently, virtual worlds like “Second Life” have received a lot of attention not only as environments that promote social interaction, but also as media in which scientific research can be performed effectively. In this latter aspect, they offer several advantages over traditional 3D visual applications, such as the capacity of supporting true collaborative endeavors in which real people, through the use of graphical avatars, can simultaneously discuss and analyze data, thereby enhancing their collaborative experience. Unfortunately, processing capabilities of current virtual worlds are limited when trying to visualize this data as 3D objects. External applications to solve this problem have been developed, but their functionality is obscure and they require good understanding in programming languages. To overcome these inconveniences for common users, we have developed EML3D (Environment Markup Language 3D), a markup language that provides a tool to manipulate virtual objects in Second Life in an easy and stable way.

Managing and Modeling Geo-features in Web-based 3d Gis Using Xml

Geo-features play a key role in object-oriented or feature-based geo-processing system. So the strategy for how-tomanage and how-to-model the geo-features builds the main architecture of the entire system and also supports the efficiency and functionality of the system. Unlike the conventional 2D geo-processing system, geo-features in 3D GIS have lots to be considered to model regarding the eff...

GGobi: XGobi Redesigned and Extended

GGobi is a direct descendant of XGobi, with multiple plotting windows, a color lookup table manager, an XML (Extended Markup Language) file format for data, and other changes. Perhaps the biggest change is that GGobi can be embedded in other software and controlled using an API (Application Programming Interface). This design has been developed and tested in partnership with R. When GGobi is us...

XString: XML as a String

Extensible markup language (XML) is a technology that has been much hyped, so that XML has become an industry buzzword. Behind the hype is a powerful technology for data representation in a platform independent manner. As a text document, however, XML suffers from being too bloated, and requires an XML parser to access and manipulate it. XString is an encoding method for XML, in essence, a mark...
