Subject: RE: XML anyone?

There's a great deal of work using XML for the representation of 3D scenes taking place under the auspices of the Web3D Consortium.
The next generation/version of VRML will be called X3D which among other things has an XML encoding and framework for 3D on the Web.
Look at info for the X3D spec and working groups at: http://www.web3d.org

  Hi, 
  I just wanted to cast a line out to see if anyone was looking at XML in their architectures.  I don't think I've seen anything about it on these lists.  I'm particularly interested in the following: 

    1.. Use of schemas for describing geometries and other multimedia 
    2.. Use of schemas for dynamically building context sensitive GUIs 
    3.. Use of XML RPC in visualization, perhaps with respect to CVEs 
  If any of you are interested in a discussion or have some useful information to which you can point me, I'd love to hear from you. 
  Thanks, 
  Kevin
