The disappearing third dimension

Science. 2011 Feb 11;331(6018):712-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1202828.

Abstract

Three-dimensional computing is driving what many would call a revolution in scientific visualization. However, its power and advancement are held back by the absence of sustainable archives for raw data and derivative visualizations. Funding agencies, professional societies, and publishers each have unfulfilled roles in archive design and data management policy.
