S1000D (Committee Membership)

Anark is a member of the S1000D standards committee. This Specification has been produced to establish standards for the documentation of any civil or military vehicle or equipment. It is based on international standards such as SGML/XML and CGM for production and use of electronic documentation.

In addition, it defines a Common Source Data Base (CSDB) to provide source information for compilation of the publications and for use in electronic logistics information systems to deliver modules of information direct to the user.

Khronos Group

The Khronos Group is a member-funded industry consortium focused on the creation of open standard APIs to enable the authoring and playback of dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices. As an active member, Anark contributes to the development of Khronos API specifications and helps accelerate the delivery of 3D platforms and applications. Anark has embraced the Khronos XML-based COLLADA schema throughout its software suite as a way to easily transport 3D assets between various content authoring applications.

Intel / U3D / 3DIF

Interactive 3D graphics are a powerful medium for the communication of ideas, the education of people and as a source of entertainment. However, while digital audio, video, and photos are exchanged easily via the Internet and across computing applications, technical barriers have prevented similar widespread use of interactive 3D content.

Intel, along with other 3D industry organizations, has established a forum to develop a standard file format and sample runtime libraries designed to support the efficient reuse of 3D data in mainstream applications. As a contributing member, Anark is actively working with Intel and other U3D organizations to further the acceptance the ISO accepted standard for 3D objects and Computer Aided Design (CAD).
