This is the first book devoted to both SVG and X3D as a new and universal means of visualizing information. It presents the state-of-the-art research emerging in this novel area and, to keep the book self-contained, introduces SVG and X3D fundamentals and leading authoring tools. The key topics covered include data, information, knowledge and network visualization; advanced graphical user interfaces; visualizing metadata, ontologies and the Semantic Web; new trends and paradigms in publishing and Web-based Interactive TV; displaying geographically referenced data; the advanced use of Adobe Illustrator and X3D-Edit authoring tools.
This book will be essential reading not only for researchers, Web developers and graduate students but also for undergraduates and everyone who is interested in using the next-generation computer graphics on their web sites.
First book to deal with both of the main XML-based technologies for 2D and 3D visualisation of the next-generation New interactive 2D and 3D interfaces for Web-based applications are investigated and implemented New metaphors for information visualisation are developed Practical solutions to several generic and specific problems of using SVG and X3D graphics are proposed Printed in full colour - over 80 colour figures
