metadata of sensor web
• Dynamic geospatial query and 3D scene
• Mashups with the X3D-based earth globe
Two-dimensional Three-dimensional
space with text space with visual
based search media navigation

23. Future work
★ Seamless dynamic exploration
• Extend visual representation and query
variations
• X3D node specification
• New framework: HTML5, CSS3
• Include X3D elements as part of

27. Digital earth
Digital earth system should not be a single
virtual globe, but multiple globes with
interconnected infrastructure.
Each globe can be specially designed by
producers has a distinct set of needs.
