Semantics and Agents for Intelligent Simulation and Collaboration in the 3D Internet

Abstract

We present the open 3D Internet research platform ISReal for semantic-enabled intelligent 3D simulations of realities in a XML3D web browser. For this purpose, the platform integrates semantic Web technologies, semantic services, intelligent agents, verification and web-based 3D graphics. In addition, we describe our vision of a scalable web-based multiuser 3DI platform for intelligent semantic-enabled collaboration between multiple users and outline selected research challenges of realizing this vision.
