What Is SVG?

Scalable Vector Graphics (a. k. a. SVG) rests on an XML-based representation of two-dimensional geometric objects that can be rendered and manipulated by means of SVG-based functions. The SVG specification is under the aegis of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which can be found at http://www.w3.org. There, you'll find the SVG-related information by scrolling down on that page and then clicking on the SVG hyperlink. Alternatively, you can go directly to the URL http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview.htm8, where you will find a cornucopia of information regarding products, conferences, companies that use SVG, future research, and market trends.
