Explanation and Goals

The figure labeled Abstract Spec, Part 1 Clause 5 Object Hierarchy below is from the VRML200X Specification now superceded by X3D.
The figures labelled X3D Full Profile Interface Hierarchies are built to compare X3D developed in the Xj3D project.

We hope this Candidate hierarchy can be used to reconcile naming and structure differences, thus providing a firm foundation for continued development and additional extensions.

The objective is to produce an agreeable, componentized, extensible model of the ancestry and inheritance for each node/field element/attribute in VRML/X3D. I am sooo glad to see these figures side-by-side - fine thinking in both of these offerings to the 3D community standards track.

Thanks to Chris Marrin for starting this graphical presentation of the object hierarchy, to Dick Puk for review and incorporating it into the VRML200X spec, and to Don Brutzman, Rick Goldberg, Nick Polys, Alan Hudson, Justin Couch and Tony Parisi and Dick Puk for working through these candidate VRML/X3D versions.
Thank You,
Joe
