CGM Open Mission

CGM Open developed and currently maintains WebCGM, an application of the ISO-standard Computer Graphics Metafile for electronic documents. WebCGM was created in collaboration with the W3C, with support from the European Commission Esprit project. An "intelligent graphics" profile, WebCGM includes both graphical and non-graphical content, allowing object hierarchies, link specifications and layer definitions.

Principal Resources

As the working arm of the CGM Open Member section, the OASIS WebCGM TC is our most important resource.

The WebCGM 2.1 specification, like WebCGM 2.0 before it, was co-developed and co-published with W3C, expanding and updating WebCGM 2.0 and WebCGM 1.0.

A major part of CGM Open's interoperability project is the WebCGM Product Directory. It not only tracks WebCGM products in several categories, but also links Implementation Conformance Statements to every product.

CGM Open hosts a comprehensive WebCGM Test Suite, which is freely available for download and use.

An extensive reading library, as well a collection of useful reference materials, are hosted and maintained by CGM Open, for WebCGM users and developers.
