This Recommendation is part of the modularized approach for specifying the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) language. In addition to providing a modularization of SVG, this document provides errata for SVG 1.0.

SVG 1.1 uses XML syntax to define resolution-independent 2D graphics and animation. Animations can be embedded in content, or sophisticated animations may be triggered by a scripting language that accesses the SVG Document Object Model (SVG DOM). The language is targeted as a graphics standard in Web browsers, on Desktops, in authoring systems and for printers and Web-enabled handheld devices (via the Mobile SVG profiles). SVG 1.1 can be used to bring vector graphics and animation to XML applications such as XML Forms (XForms), Math Markup Language (MathML) and Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML). It supports Internationalization and Accessibility standards, and provides Java and ECMAScript bindings.
