1. Scope and Field of Application

The scope of the standard incorporates the following:

• a mechanism for storing and transporting two-dimensional and three-dimensional data
• elements for representing two-dimensional and three-dimensional primitive information
• elements for defining characteristics of such primitives
• elements for viewing and modelling two-dimensional and three-dimensional information
• a container mechanism for incorporating data from other metafile formats
• mechanisms for defining new elements which extend the capabilities of the metafile to support additional types and forms of information
