<h2 id="specabstract"><a id="abstract" name="abstract">Abstract</a></h2>

<p>
  This specification defines the features and syntax for
  Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny, Version 1.2, a language for describing
  two-dimensional vector graphics in XML, combined with raster graphics and multimedia.
  Its goal is to provide the ability to create a whole range of graphical
  content, from static images to animations to interactive Web applications.
  SVG 1.2 Tiny is a profile of SVG intended for implementation on a range of
  devices, from cellphones and PDAs to laptop and desktop computers, and thus
  includes a subset of the features included in
  <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/" title="Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification">SVG 1.1 Full</a>,
  along with new features to extend the capabilities of SVG.  Further extensions
  are planned in the form of modules which will be compatible with
  SVG 1.2 Tiny, and which when combined with this specification, will match and
  exceed the capabilities of
  <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/" title="Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification">SVG 1.1 Full</a>.

    This section describes the status of this document at the time of its
    publication. Other documents may supersede this document.  A list of current
    W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be

</p>
<p>
  This is the 22 December 2008 Recommendation of SVG Tiny 1.2.
</p>
<p>
  This document has been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by
  other W3C groups and interested parties, and is endorsed by the Director as a
  W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference
  material or cited from another document. W3C's role in making the Recommendation
  is to draw attention to the specification and to promote its widespread
  deployment. This enhances the functionality and interoperability of the Web.
</p>
<p>
  The <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">SVG Working Group</a>
  working closely with the developer community, has produced an
  <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.2/Tiny/ImpReport.html">implementation
  report</a> to prove the implementability of this specification.
  Previous drafts for this specification resulted in a number of comments
  which have been addressed by the
  <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">SVG Working Group</a>, with a
  <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.2/Tiny/dc.html">Disposition of Comments</a>
  available on the W3C SVG site.  A list of
  changes made since the Proposed Recommendation Working Draft is available in
  <a href="changes.html">Appendix T</a>.
</p>
<p>
  As described in the abstract, this specification represents the core for a set
  of modular extensions, but is named SVG Tiny for historical reasons, as a profile
  for mobile devices.  Future versions of this specification will maintain
  backwards compatibility with previous versions of the language, in a continuing
  line of technology, but will bear the name "SVG Core" to represent this
  relationship.
</p>
<p>

<p>
  The SVG Working Group would like to acknowledge the
  many people outside of the SVG Working Group who help with the
  process of developing the SVG specification. These people
  are too numerous to list individually, but are greatly appreciated.
  They include but are not limited to the early implementers of the SVG
  languages (including viewers, authoring tools, and server-side
  transcoders), developers of SVG content, people who have
  contributed on the www-svg@w3.org and
  svg-developers@yahoogroups.com email lists, other Working
  Groups at the W3C, and the W3C Team. SVG is truly a
  cooperative effort between the SVG Working Group, the rest of
  the W3C, and the public, and benefits greatly from the
  pioneering work of early implementers and content developers,
  and from public feedback.
