definition: Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard file format for describing interactive 3D scenes that can be browsed over the Web. Its relevance to the GIS field lies in its ability to represent landscapes and urban environments in 3D, and also in the GeoVRML extension that supports geographic applications.
