Abstract

Effective search for interactive 3D objects needed for new applications requires object metadata that cover not only object geometry and semantics, but also behavior. Existing metadata standards define different information describing an object. The missing metadata fragment, not included in existing metadata standards, is metadata of object behavior. Such information should be stored in a format which enables efficient search for objects with specific interaction properties. In this chapter, a new approach to describe interactivity of 3D objects is presented, in which the object behavior is described by models of potential object interactions with other objects. The proposed approach is based on two main elements: a model of interactive object interactions and a concept of interaction interface. The model of object interactions decomposes an interaction into Event, Condition and Action components described by distinct metadata structures that use textual semantic descriptions and formal mathematical descriptions. The interaction interface concept enables definition and sharing of detailed semantics of parameters related with interactions. The solution was implemented as metadata schemas in a form of XML Schemas.
