3D object contents are used for various applications in the Web virtual space, where the main concerns are to navigate the 3D virtual space and visualize 3D objects. The techniques to manipulate 3D objects like disassembling and assembling and to record the manipulation process are the very first step. Until now, we can record only the result of 3D object manipulation. Thus, we have tried to study the representation technique to record meaningfully and replay the manipulation process of 3D structured objects. We analyzed the structures and their relations between components to construct 3D objects that are described in XML or VRML. Compared to the previous method, we studied a XML based annotation technique to record and store selectively by user. This technique makes 3D structured objects be used in the various applications by the selective recording and also selective replaying.
