Abstract | The paper presents a method of describing semantics of 3D web content with RDFa - Resource Description Framework in Attributes. Dependencies between 3D web components are typically more complex than dependencies between standard web pages as they may relate to different aspects of the 3D content - spatial, temporal, structural, logical and behavioural. Semantic Web standards help in making data understandable and processable for both humans and computers. RDFa is an RDF-compliant standard designed for creating semantic descriptions embedded into web resources, but it has been indented mostly for 2D web pages and not for 3D web content. The main contribution of this paper is a method of creating lightweight attribute-based built-in semantic descriptions of X3D web content. The method utilizes the standard syntax and structure of X3D documents providing a mapping of RDFa attributes to metadata nodes in 3D models. Due to the use of the standardized solutions, the proposed method enables flexible semantic descriptions of content for use in a variety of 3D applications on the web. |
