Method and system for generating input file using meta language regarding graphic data compression

A method of generating an input file using a meta language regarding graphics data compression, the method comprising:

• making an XMT schema which defines a compression node, which defines object data to be compressed, parameters for data compression, and BitWrapperEncodingHints which at least specifies the location of a file in which the object data to be compressed is stored;
• making an XMT2BIFS style sheet which supports conversion of an XMT input file into an scene file and an XMT2MUX style sheet which supports conversion of the XMT input file into a mux file, based on the XMT schema;
• and
• generating the scene file and the mux file by parsing the input XMT file using the XMT schema and the XMT2BIFS and XMT2MUX style sheets.

A system for generating an input file using a meta language regarding graphics data compression, the system comprising:

• an XML schema that defines a compression node at least containing information regarding object data to be compressed and parameters used for data compression;
• style sheets which support conversion of the input XML file into a file which is to be input to a predetermined data compression encoder, based on the XML schema;
• and
• an XML parser which parses the input XML file based on the XML schema and the style sheets to generate a file input to a predetermined data compression encoder.
