Modules

 Distributed Datasets
 Large-scale datasets for rendering and processing are specified as scene elements in the hierarchical scene description.
 
 Composing a Scene using Scene Groups
 Scene groups are basic building blocks for implementing the hierarchical scene descriptions and grouping scene elements.
 
 Basic Shapes
 Shapes are categorized into higher-level 3D geometries and 2D image space objects.
 
 Scene attributes
 Attributes effect the distributed datasets or shapes through the hierarchical scene description.
