W3C issues SVG 1.1 and Mobile SVG recommendations for 3G devices
January 15, 2003
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has issued Scalable Vector
Graphics (SVG) 1.1 and Mobile SVG Profiles as W3C Recommendations.
SVG 1.1 separates SVG capabilities into reusable building blocks,
and SVG Mobile re-combines them in a way optimized for 3G mobile
devices.
There is an explosion of interest in handheld devices and mobile
phones which have color screens, improved processing power and can
deliver enhanced multimedia functionality. These still fall short
of the capabilities of desktop and laptop machines, but are now
capable of displaying Web standard technologies such as XHTML, SMIL
and SVG. W3C has used the SVG 1.1 building blocks to make two profiles
or subsets of full SVG; SVG Tiny, aimed at multimedia capable cellphones
such as the recently announced 3G units, and SVG Basic for handheld
and palmtop computers.
"Cellphones allow Internet and Web access for millions of people
who don't have access to desktop machines, temporarily or otherwise,"
said Dean Jackson, W3C Fellow from CSIRO. "With 3GPP already incorporating
Mobile SVG, we are already starting to see more rich and useful
content in third generation cellphones."
Instead of sending text messages or canned, bitmap logos, SVG Tiny
now makes it possible to send a colorful animated multimedia message.
Instead of juggling a laptop or taking a static printout to the
factory floor, construction site, hospital ward, or trading room,
SVG Basic now enables the mobile professional to consult up to date,
interactive, informative graphics on a convenient pocket computer
which is dynamically updated over a wireless network connected to
the XML information hub of the enterprise.
Commercial services using SVG Mobile are now being deployed, including
location based services using geographical metadata embedded in
the SVG. Fifteen implementations were tested in November 2002, including
SVG Tiny implementations from BitFlash, CSIRO, KDDI, Nokia, ZOOMON
and SVG Basic implementations from BitFlash, CSIRO, and Intesis;
others were also under development but were not tested at that time.
