Definition:Semantic queries on indexed objects allow the reuse of the 3D scenes.

Nowadays, the 3D is a highly expanding media. More particularly with the emergence of dedicated standards such as VRML and X3D, 3D animations are widely used on the Web. The continuous evolution of computing capabilities of desktop computers is also a factor that facilitates the large deployment of 3D information contents. At the same time the demand in term of 3D information is becoming more and more sustained in various domains such as spatial planning, risks management, telecommunications, transports, defense, and tourism. 3D information should represent a real world scene as accurately as possible and should exhibit properties (like, topological relations) to allow complex spatial analysis [12].

The construction of a 3D scene is a complex and time consuming task. Thus, being able to reuse the 3D scenes is a very important issue for the multimedia community. In order to meet this goal, the indexing...
