I got 4 questions:
1)The normal array is optinal? what happens if i dont use it?
2)Why the texture array is 2d? I have no ideia what are these texture coords
(-0.661381 0.732689 0.680619 -0.609311…)
3)What means the tag matrix inside the tag node(id=“Camera”), what means this coords and the are 2d or 3d?
4)In :
<input semantic=“TEXCOORD” source="#mesh1-geometry-uv" offset=“2” set=“0”/>
what means set=“0”?

use the “[“code”]” and “[”/code"]" for posting code, easier to read

the you get:

A model can have several sets of texture cordinates:

Ex:

the artist may have one uv mapping for the diffuse map and another one for the specular map.

well before answering more question, what are you trying to do??

are you imporing a collada file into an application?

I am trying to use .DAE models on GoogleEarth.

I got all this questions solved, but a have other questions:

Why polylist or polygon dont work on google Earth?
*i am using triangles to draw everythins, because of that.

2)Is there any pattern for texture coords?i didnt undestand those values for the example up here.

In OpenGL i got a pattern to insert a photo in a plane:

bottom left is 0,0 and 1,1 is the top right of my photo.
