Abstract
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language allows to describe 3D objects and combine them into scenes and worlds on the Web. Users can build their original 3D worlds. Users can also incorporate models created by other creators into their scenes. Currently, it is difficult to search favorable 3D objects or scenes from the Web. This paper describes search methods of VRML data and describes its index scheme. This paper also describes our prototype implementation of a VRML Search Engine based on VRML logical structure.
