| Abstract |
In a context in which there is a growing interest in exploiting the potential of the Semantic Web in Shape Modeling applications, there is a general lack of tools able to analyse, structure and understand digital shapes for easily populating repositories with complete and well-detailed shape models. We present the design details of our innovative system, for inspecting geometrical and topological information from digital shapes and for structuring and annotating these shapes using ontology-driven metadata. We outline also different application frameworks of such a tool and remark some interesting future research directions we have identified. |
