    Enterprise-level architecture for interactive web-based 3D visualization of geo-referenced repositories
    (The Eurographics Association, 2009) Simoes, Bruno; Conti, Giuseppe; Piffer, Stefano; Amicis, Raffaele de; Dieter W. Fellner and Alexei Sourin and Johannes Behr and Krzysztof Walczak
    Interoperability, interactivity and 3D visualization are three of the most important challenges related to Geographical Information Systems. In the last few years, research on interoperability has evolved from simple exchange of spatial data files, through the establishment of standardized spatial data repositories, to the first initiatives allowing management of semantic aspects of data. Interoperability has been mainly hampered by the need to agree on standards, and to develop appropriate tools and methods. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has proposed a number of standards with the intention of promoting interoperability through the use of open services such asWeb Mapping Service (WMS),Web Processing Service (WPS),Web Feature Service (WFS) andWeb Coverage Service (WCS). However, there are a number of open issues regarding interactivity, 3D data visualization, fault tolerance, scalability, server-independent implementation, delayed-time transactions, to name but a few, that clearly reflect the need for further study and discussion. This paper presents a service-oriented architecture in the context of interoperable Web 3D GIS applications, designed to support features such as manipulation, processing and visual analysis of geographical information.

    Web Based Presentation of Semantically Tagged 3D Content for Public Sculptures and Monuments in the UK
    (The Eurographics Association, 2009) Rodriguez-Echavarria, Karina; Morris, David; Arnold, David; Dieter W. Fellner and Alexei Sourin and Johannes Behr and Krzysztof Walczak
    The documentation and presentation of 3D digital content is a critical but non-trivial task for the Cultural Heritage sector. Curators are often faced with the task of cataloguing every piece of heritage and maintaining the resulting information in such a way which is suitable for scholarly research and public dissemination. Hence, the integration of 3D content poses additional challenges. This paper introduces research conducted to integrate semantically tagged 3D content to the catalogue acquired within the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association's National Recording Project (NRP) in the UK. This research involves the combination of graphical APIs and semantic technologies in order to integrate 3D content with semantic tags in a web browser. Although the initial results are still experimental; it is expected that they will support scholarly research and public dissemination by presenting a variety of integrated documentation on the project website: http://www.publicsculpturesofsussex.co.uk
