The Virtual Reality Modeling Language consists of two parts. Part 1 (ISO/IEC 14772-1) defines the base functionality and text encoding for VRML. Part 2 (ISO/IEC 14772-2) defines the base functionality and all bindings for the VRML External Authoring Interface. The table of contents for part 2 is below.
This document is part 2 of ISO/IEC 14772, the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), also referred to as "VRML 97". The full title of this part of the International Standard is: Information technology -- Computer graphics and image processing -- The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) -- Part 2: External authoring interface (EAI).
The Foreword provides background on the standards process for
VRML. The Introduction describes the purpose, design criteria,
and characteristics of VRML. The following clauses define part 2 of ISO/IEC
14772:
There are several annexes included in the specification:
A. IDL binding reference specifies the binding of the VRML EAI functions to IDL.
B. Java binding reference specifies the binding of the VRML EAI functions to Java.
C. Backwards compatibility specifies the means of supporting the previous de facto EAI.
