4.6.3.4 ROTATION TAGS IN THE AEM<br />

The is notable in that there are <strong>XML</strong> attributes used to convey the characteristics of<br />

rotations instead of <strong>XML</strong> elements. The AEM includes a number of rotation-related<br />

constructs that are necessitated by the fact that attitude rotations are not of one type. The<br />

rotation combinations are complicated by the fact that some rotation sequences are specified<br />

with more than one rotation about the same axis (e.g., a ‘131’ rotation, in which the first<br />

rotation is about the x-axis, second about the z-axis, and the final rotation again about the x-<br />
