Major addition to all versions:
- Inserted annotation appinfo elements/attributes for inputOnly, outputOnly and
SFNode/MFNode fields in concrete node interfaces, now allowing API autogeneration.

ContainedNodeLabel tags help distinguish between the different uses of node siblings that might otherwise share the same node type.
These tags are labels in the scene graph, not instantiable nodes.
Because these tags do not need to be instantiated as scene graph nodes, they do not have DEF or USE values like X3DNodes.
ContainedNodeLabel tags are sometimes referred to as "wrapper tags." Note that ContainedNodeLabel tags are not needed when node siblings have different types. Thus "wrapper tags" are not needed for most child nodes in the VRML 97 node set.
X3DArrayField is equivalent to MF (Multiple Field) simple non-Node types in the VRML 97 Specification.

14 November 2005 brutzman
- added CADGeometry component, matching 3.1 specification
- added enumeration value for CADInterchange Profile, matching 3.1 specification
22 October 2005 brutzman
- added enumeration type x3dVersion to allow or "3.0" in x3d-3.1.xsd.
also refactored x3d-3.0.xsd as enumeration, continue to only allow "3.0" as allowed value.
- relaxed order of GeoElevationGrid children (GeoOrigin, Color, Normal, TextureCoordinate)
- corrected GeoViewpoint child GeoOrigin to be a reference, allowing proper validation of Geospatial scenes
- relaxed GeoMetadata content model to permit zero child nodes
- added FontStyle to allowed content for field, fieldValue, ProtoBody (SceneGraphFragmentContentModel)
- added speed attribute to MovieTexture
- rounded up pi/2 maxInclusive values to 1.5708
21 October 2005 brutzman
- added CAD profile: X3DProductStructureChildNode, CADAssembly, CADFace, CADLayer, CADPart,
IndexedQuadSet, QuadSet
- Node signature for 32.4.2 CADFace missing bbox fields and X3DBoundedObject interface, bug posted
21 October 2005 brutzman
- updated x3d-3.0.xsd (schema version 3.0.0) as x3d-3.0.xsd (schema version 3.0.1), incorporating all
changes to date. This will become the X3D Amendment 1 version of the X3D 3.0 schema.
- The X3D Amendment 1 schema itself is fully backwards compatible and can validate
but also adds additional v3.1 nodes. It is provided separately as x3d-3.1.xsd (schema version 3.1.1).
- Thus the second digit in each schema version is the X3D amendment supported for validation,
and the last digit in each schema version is the X3D amendment revision of the schema.
21 October 2005 grieve, brutzman
- moved otherInterfaces attribute (used to indicate multiple inheritance) into appinfo annotation, rather than
as an improper attribute. These multiple interfaces are informational for application/API generation tools,
since complexType doesn't allow definition of multiple interfaces. A more verbose (but probably more
confusing) approach would be to rename the complexType definitions. In any case, each complexType
does include all attributes and child-element content defined by each of the implemented interfaces.
10 October 2005 brutzman
- MetadataSet choice of children maxOccurs changed from 0 to unbounded
- Refactored AppearanceChildContentModelLooseNoProtoInstance inside AppearanceChildContentModelLoose
- added MultiTextureTransform to AppearanceChildContentModelLooseNoProtoInstance
- added Appearance to ChildContentModelInterchange
- bound X3DNode type to ChildContentModelCore (Metadata nodes) and single child Metadata-node choice
- added ChildContentModelCore (Metadata nodes) to SceneGraphFragmentContentModel, field and fieldValue
- rearranged definitions for HAnimHumanoid and ChildContentModelHumanoidAnimation for proper validation
- rearranged definitions for SceneGraphFragmentContentModel and
SceneGraphFragmentWithPrototypeDeclarationsContentModel for proper validation
- Provided NurbsPatchSurface with content model Coordinate, CoordinateDouble, TextureCoordinate,
TextureCoordinateGenerator,NurbsTextureCoordinate, ProtoInstance
- added uClosed, vClosed to X3DNurbsSurfaceGeometryNode
- added Coordinate, CoordinateDouble to NurbsCurve, NurbsOrientationInterpolator,
NurbsPositionInterpolator, NurbsSurfaceInterpolator
- added Contour2D to GeometryContentModelNurbs, also added default containerField trimmingContour
- added NurbsCurve, ContourPolyline2D as content model for Contour2D

one NurbsCurve node to content model
- NurbsSwungSurface: added two (ContourPolyline2D, NurbsCurve2D) nodes to
content model
- NurbsTextureCoordinate: changed weight to MFFloat
- NurbsTrimmedSurface: added content model Contour2D, Coordinate, CoordinateDouble,
TextureCoordinate, TextureCoordinateGenerator, NurbsTextureCoordinate
2 October 2005 brutzman
- began work on schema corrections to better validate under XMLSpy and other tools
- AppearanceChildContentModel is problematic due to combinatoric explosion of
design pattern for FillProperties, LineProperties, ImageTexture, PixelTexture,
MovieTexture, TextureTransform, and ProtoInstance
- replaced model for Appearance with AppearanceChildContentModelLoose, which
only validates legitimate child nodes but does not prevent duplicate entries.
This is an unfortunate limitation of XML Schema deterministic content
model requirements.
- Removed AppearanceChildContentModel from schema since it creates problems for
schema validation tools, copied here for archival purposes
AppearanceChildContentModel is the child-node content model corresponding to X3DAppearanceChildNode. AppearanceChildContentModel can first contain optional FillProperties and/or LineProperties, then any-order Material, ImageTexture, MovieTexture, MultiTexture, PixelTexture, TextureTransform, MultiTextureTransform. No more than one instance of any single node type is allowed.
26 November 2004, Steffen Nowacki
- removed duplicate entry for bottomUrl in utility simpleType "inputOutputAccessTypes"
2 October 2004, brutzman
- children in GeoMetadata changed to be optional
16 September 2004, puk, brutzman

(used for autogenerating X3D Encoding of Nodes in XML Encodings specification)
- corrected secondary node type for Collision node to X3DSensorNode
15 September 2004, brutzman and X3D Specification Team
- URL for revisions to Web3D Extensions:
http://www.web3d.org/x3d-content/x3d-3.0-Web3dExtensionsPublic.xsd
14 September 2004, brutzman
- x3d-3.0-Web3dExtensionsPublic.xsd (including LatticeXVL node) and
x3d-3.0-Web3dExtensionsPrivate.xsd schemas added
- revised version number to 3.0.0
16 July 2004, dabrowski, brutzman
- Renamed Lineset field 'lineCount' to 'vertexCount'
11 July 2004, brutzman
- corrected additional internal structural errors in ColorNormalTexCoordContentModel
and ColorCoordinateNormalTexCoordContentModel
- GeoElevationGrid child content made optional
8 July 2004, brutzman
- removed Event
- renamed the looser AppearanceChildContentModel alternative as
AppearanceChildContentModelLoose
- NurbsTextureCoordinate now extends X3DTextureCoordinateNode vice X3DNode
- ColorNormalTexCoordContentModel and ColorCoordinateNormalTexCoordContentModel
modified to permit TextureCoordinateGenerator, MultiTextureCoordinate and
NurbsTextureCoordinate as alternatives to TextureCoordinate
- Successfully generated documentation using XMLSPY, placed in
c:/www.web3d.org/x3d/content/X3dSchemaDocumentation/x3d-3.0.html
https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dSchemaDocumentation/x3d-3.0.html
but then IndexedFaceSet began crashing it, likely due to more complex
ColorCoordinateNormalTexCoordContentModel
8 July 2004, brutzman
- Tool bug: alternative simplified AppearanceChildContentModel provided
to avoid ambiguous child content errors from xjc (jaxb) schema validation.
Commented sections have to be swapped when using schema to generate
data bindings since AppearanceChildContentModel appears too complicated
for tools otherwise.
- Tool bug: attribute name="class" has to be commented for xjc (jaxb) to build API classes
[ERROR] Attempt to create a property having the same name as the reserved word "Class".
line 1139 of x3d-3.0.xsd
- Corrected content model for GeoMetadata to include MFNode 'data' field,
which can only refer to other GeoSpatial nodes.
- Moved attribute name="class" back into attributeGroup globalAttributes
with corrected type="xsd:NMTOKEN" (not type="xsd:string")
- Eliminated SFFloatPositive and SFFloatNonNegative.
Example redefinition:
Saved prior regex definitions, for information purposes:
7 July 2004, brutzman
- restructured ChildContentModel, SceneGraphStructureContentModel and
SceneGraphFragmentContentModel to avoid nondeterminism ambiguities
1 July 2004, brutzman
- change AppearanceChildContentModel for LineProperties, FillProperties
to avoid ambiguous child content errors from jaxb schema validation
27 June 2004, brutzman
- changed SFFloat to
instead of
- removed duplicative Metadata node declarations
from ChildContentModeCore since already provided in X3DNode
- removed erroneous declarations from ChildContentModeCore
- removed extraneous CoordinateInterpolator2D from ChildContentModelImmersive
- updated X3D Specification base url from
https://www.web3d.org/specifications/ISO-IEC-19775/Part01 to
https://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/ISO-IEC-19775-FDIS-X3dAbstractSpecification/Part01
- removed redundant Metadata* nodes from MetadataSet since they are already
provided by X3DNode
- removed redundant ColorCoordinateNormalTexCoordContentModel from IndexedFaceSet
content model, since already provided by X3DComposedGeometryNode
- X3DScriptNode made a separate base type since it can contain mixed (CDATA text)
content, which means that it can't inherit from X3DNode. Thus added metadata
children to precede field tags. Script already in ChildContentModelImmersive.
- Cannot have a trailing ProtoInstance or two ProtoInstances represent
FillProperties/LineProperties, restricted AppearanceChildContentModel slightly
to preclude nondeterministic combinations of child content
- Eliminated redundant GeoLocation from content model for GeoLocation, GeoLOD
- Restricted HAnimDisplacer to only appear under HAnimSite, not as any ChildNode
- Similarly restricted HAnimJoint, HAnimSegment, HAnimSite to not appear as
any ChildNode
=============================================================================
change summary prior to 27 June 2004:
Nodes with different attributes/interfaces/names than VRML 97:
- Anchor: implement X3DTouchSensorNode (and thus SensorNodeType)
interface, add attributes enabled, isActive, isOver, touchTime
- Collision: implement X3DEnvironmentalSensorNode (and thus SensorNodeType)
interface, add attributes enabled, isActive
- Joint: implement X3DBoundedObject interface, attributes bboxCenter, bboxSize
- KeySensor: new node
- IndexedLineSet: new attribute lineWidth
- LOD: children (instead of level), implement X3DBoundedObject interface
for bboxCenter, bboxSize
- PointSet: new attribute pointSize
- Scene: integrates functionality of VRML 97 Script node's Browser class
- Site: implement X3DBoundedObject interface, attributes bboxCenter, bboxSize
- StringSensor: new node
- Switch: children (instead of choice), might implement X3DBoundedObject
interface
- Viewpoint: new (experimental) attribute examine (rotation used
when active NavigationInfo is in EXAMINE mode)
- No attributes are designated as eventIn, eventOut, field, exposedField
since all are treated equivalently (by design decision at 1999 summit).
Prototype fields can indicate fieldHint via attribute vrml97Hint for
backwards compatibility using X3D-to-VRML-97 translators.
- Routing events via field-name prefix set_ (or suffix _changed) is no
longer required. Ought to be designated as a deprecation so that X3D
implementations are forgiving. X3dToVrml97.xslt needs to be updated
to support proper backwards translation automatically.
=============================================================================
X3D design work completed:
- Removed profile attributes for all nodes.
- Verify all nodes, attributes and relationships using DTD.
- Verify node types against latest interface hierarchy.
- Verify summary of attribute additions relative to VRML 97 specification.
- Verify attribute distribution among node types using SAI version 1.
- Resolve X3DNode and base type relationships and naming conventions.
- Added StringsUrl type to allow further pattern restrictions on
valid url values, with expectation that further detail needs to be
specified that is compatible with URNs. StringsUrl maps to
VRML 97 MFStrings.
- Multiple interfaces for Anchor, Collision, MovieTexture, TimeSensor:
have verified there is no native Schema approach available for directly
indicating multiple simultaneous types. Thus an otherInterfaces attribute
is provided in combination with explicit repetition of attributes for
these other interfaces. This allows proper autogeneration of multiple
IDL and API interfaces by XSLT stylesheets.
- Verify there are no other multiple interface nodes.
- Extract tooltips from X3D-Edit to augment annotation->appinfo text.
- Ensure setup and configuration files properly documented and available
online as part of X3D-Edit distribution.
- VRML 97's Script node Browser class (for values exposed to a browser) is
being provided via attributes on Scene node (and thus a Scene interface).
Also need to update DTD, X3D-Edit tooltips profile and X3dToVrml97.xsl
translation stylesheet.
- Use attributeGroup for any attributes contained in complexType (meaning
NodeType definitions) so that multiple-interface repetitions can refer to
the proper attributeGroup rather than explicitly repeating each attribute.
- SceneGraphStructureType interface identifies scene-related nodes that are
not renderable nodes in the scene graph (X3D, Header, Scene, ROUTE etc.).
- Scene Authoring Interface (SAI) Java bindings for interfaces in
org/web3d/x3d/sai/SceneAuthoringInterface.java are autogenerated
from X3dSchemaDraft.xml by BuildInterfacesFromSchema.xsl
- Enumeration types originally converted to Java interfaces, now converted
into fully functional utility classes.
- Can X3D element be formally designated as root node? Apparently not,
according to revised Schema recommendation. Nevertheless, structured
relationships of the node typing rules makes X3D the root. No further
action required.
- SceneGraphStructureNodeType nodes (X3D, Scene, Header, Prototype* etc.)
changed from Full profile to either Base or Core profile as appropriate.
- Updated to match final 2001 XML Schema Recommendation revisions.
- Investigate restrictions on use of abstract="true" for element content
as described in
http://www.w3.org/2000/05/12-xmlschema-lcissues.html#abstract-types
- Profile renaming:
Core to Interchange profile
CoreInteractive to Interactive profile
BaseLine to Immersive profile
Full stays Full profile
DisJavaVrml to DIS profile
GeoVrml to GeoSpatial profile
- Wrapper tag issues: http://www.web3D.org/x3d/ComposingSceneGraphAlternatives.html
- Color: naming collision between X3DField 'color' and node interface 'Color'
avoided by distinct naming conventions for field type and field name.
- xsd:choice minOccurs/maxOccurs attributes moved to parent xsd:group when
used by reference (SoundChildContentModel, TextureBackgroundChildContentModel)
- regex patterns for SFVec2d, MFVec2d, SFVec3d, MFVec3d, MFVec3f
- Can SubstitutionGroup be used for deprecated node labels like
LOD-level (now LOD-children) and Switch-choice (now Switch-children)? No.
- Add source urls for annotations appinfo/documentation once specification
addresses are stable. Initially using VRML 97 specification URLs for
clarity. Updating to XLink urls into VRML 200x is the eventual goal.
- Update the x3d-compact.dtd to precisely match names used for node types
(e.g. GroupingNode).
- Can USE be substituted anywhere? XML Schema substitutionGroup? Wildcard?
Answer: USE no longer allowed due to type ambiguity, redundancy.
- Consider optionalAttributes for appropriate fields in Interchange profile nodes
that are only guaranteed at higher profile levels (or else just annotate them
and leave optional implementation silent as an implementer choice).
Answer: no.
- Is it possible for this schema to differentiate profile-optional attributes
(e.g. Anchor.target, IndexedFaceSet.convex etc.) in the same way that the
DTD allows strict or loose checking of different-profile attributes? This
is a bit tricky since browsers can optionally support Immersive-related
attributes even when operating in a Interchange profile mode. Answer: no.
- Relax ROUTE to appear within a scene/prototype, not solely at the end:
ROUTE is a child node type.
- Can FloatNonNegative pattern restrictions instead be added on a
localized node-by-node basis? Probably too verbose, but at least that
preserves base-type definitions. Answer: no, poor design choice.
- Require ROUTE attributes.
=============================================================================
X3D Schema design work in progress:
- Using XSV validator to check the internal consistency of the schema.
- Still need to automate regression testing for schema-based validation of
content suites, a few esoteric schema warnings remain from xsqc and xsv.
- Update source urls for annotations appinfo/documentation once specification
addresses are stable.
- How to identify simple types as X3DField and X3DArrayField?
- Need X3DTexture3DNode?
Probably keep Extrusion, [Geo]ElevationGrid as X3DGeometryNode
- Need regex patterns for BoundingBoxSize, other special boundary constraints
- Add additional type restrictions such as FloatNonNegative etc. ?
Consider whether this can be codified as further base types or
included as range restrictions on existing base types.
- Need constraint or pattern on TriangleFanSet fanCount and
TriangleStripSet stripCount (3 or more values)
- is there some way to apply a restriction that only one child of
Collision can have containerField="proxy" ?
- Augment H-Anim 1.1 with H-Anim 2001. Decide if 1.1 can be included
compatibly (as with DTD).
- Matching interfaces with org.w3c.dom Element, Attr and Event types.
Mapping to SAI X3DNode, X3DField and Event respectively. Under
evaluation as part of Scene Authoring Interface (SAI) development.
- Can deprecations be encoded as allowable options, or alternate/duplicate
attributes? Stylesheets can capture and propagate the deprecations if
consistently defined.
- Patterns for multifield types need to be completed?
- Establish different namespace scopes using key/keyRef for DEF/USE ID/IDREFs
(and ROUTE/IS) inside ProtoDeclare.
- Establish different namespace scopes for node and ProtoDeclare names.
Or at least forbid reserved node names in prototypes.
- Insert namespace prefixes (xsd: etc.) on X3D element - may need to use ref.
See next section of this documentation for example implementation details.
- Is restricting values on fields with accessType inputOnly/outputOnly possible?
- Need to integrate CoordinateDouble and ColorRGBA into content models
=============================================================================
Future work with namespaces and 'xsd:' qualifiers for non-X3D schema
elements/datatypes, once software tools are namespace aware:
xmlns ="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
xmlns:x3d="http://www.web3d.org/specifications/x3d-3.0.xsd"
targetNamespace="http://www.web3d.org/specifications/x3d-3.0.xsd"
DTD processing approach to namespaces:
X3dSchemaDraft.xml entity declaration section (i.e. document subset)
which goes inside the DOCTYPE tag at the top of this schema:
]
Caution: Xeena and JAXP do not yet support document subset or namespaces,
so the preceding document subset fragment listed here will get
clobbered if inserted inside DOCTYPE.
