Abstract

The complexity of 3D content makes its creation accessible to professional IT developers equipped with specific software tools and hardware devices, but it is generally inaccessible to non-expert users. The Semantic Web approach enables description of web resources with commonly used concepts. However, the use of semantic concepts may also facilitate creation of interactive 3D content. In this paper, a new approach to conceptual semantic representation of 3D content is proposed. The presented solution permits modelling of 3D content at an arbitrarily high level of semantic abstraction with the use of domain-specific ontologies. Thanks to the compliance with well-established solutions for semantics and 3D content representation, the proposed approach can facilitate widespread creation, dissemination and reuse of 3D content by non IT-professionals in a variety of application domains.
