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.
Culminating a 3-year collaboration, OASIS and W3C simultaneously publish the finished WebCGM 2.1, respectively as an OASIS Standard and a W3C Recommendation (03/2010).
WebCGM TC resumes OASIS processing, approving revised WebCGM 2.1 as Committee Draft (CD04), and proceeding onward through Committee Specification to OS ballot request (12/2009).
WebCGM WG (W3C) publishes Candidate Recommendation (CR) document (9/2009) and completes its CR phase (10/2009).
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.
