Therefore semantic processing for the purposes of comparing, cataloging and archiving 2D and 3D shapes is a major concern. Existing Konwledge Management systems fail to provide effective solutions for industrial designers and privilege the management of text-based content. In this paper we describe a content retrieval system for the styling department. Our solution provides a platform for creating, managing and retrieving semantic meta-data descriptions of multimedia content and 3D shapes using the MPEG 7 ISO/IEC standard. We further outline the rational for integrating such a solution with a virtual styling system and discuss multimodal approaches for the input of semantic metadata in virtual environments.enshape semanticindustrial designMPEG-7virtual stylingmultimodal user interface006conference paper
