Ontology-Based Creation of 3D Content in a Service-Oriented Environment

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 208))

Abstract

In this paper, an environment for semantic creation of interactive 3D content is proposed. The environment leverages the semantic web techniques and the SOA paradigm to enable ontology-based modeling of 3D objects and scenes in distributed web-based environments. The proposed solution combines visual and declarative approaches to 3D content creation. The possible use of various ontologies and knowledge bases permits modeling of content by users with different skills and at different levels of abstraction, thus significantly extending possible use of 3D on the web in various business scenarios.
