 The VRML Repository  http://www.web3d.org/vrml/vrml.htm
 "The term Web3d describes any programming or descriptive language that can be used
to deliver interactive 3D objects and worlds across the internet. This includes open languages
such as Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), Java3D and X3D (under development)
- also any proprietary languages that have been developed for the same purpose come under
the umbrella of Web3d. The Web3D Repository is an impartial, comprehensive, community
resource for the dissemination of information relating to Web3D and ismaintained by the Web3D Consortium."
