摘要：Volume data is useful across many disciplines, not just medicine. Thus, it is very important that researchers have a simple and lightweight method of sharing and reproducing views of volumetric data. In this paper, we explore some of the challenges associated with volume rendering, both from a classical sense and from the context of Web3D technologies. We describe and evaluate the ISO X3D Volume Rendering Component specification and its associated styles by several key criteria: Representation, Implementation, Interaction, and Interoperability/Integration. Additionally, we examine the ability for a minimal X3D node set to capture provenance and semantic information from outside ontologies in metadata and integrate it with the scene graph. These examples of cross-platform visualization have strong implications for IT platforms supporting volume data in research, education and practice.
