[x3d-public] updated models, Chemistry Markup Language

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

One of our outstanding demonstration model sets in the X3D Example Archives are the conversions of Chemical Markup Language data into X3D models.  This pattern was first demonstrated by Nicholas Polys at Virginia Tech, with a full set of examples published in 2005.

[Chemical Markup Language (CML)]<https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/Basic/ChemicalMarkupLanguage/index.html>
Chemical Markup Language (CML)<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_Markup_Language> provides support for most chemistry including molecules, compounds, reactions, spectra, crystals and computational chemistry.
These examples show how to visualize Chemical Markup Language (CML)<https://xml-cml.org/> molecular definitions, combined with previously designed X3D model prototypes, by converting CML molecule definitions in XML through CmlToX3d.xslt<https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/Basic/ChemicalMarkupLanguage/CmlToX3d.xslt> stylesheet transformations. This process is described in the paper "Stylesheet Transformations for Interactive Visualization: Towards a Web3D Chemistry Curricula<https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/Basic/ChemicalMarkupLanguage/Polys.StylesheetTransformationsInteractiveVisualization.Web3d2003Symposium.pdf>," originally published in Proceedings of Web3D 2003 Symposium<https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=636593&picked=prox&CFID=74553243&CFTOKEN=60897567>, St. Malo France, 9-12 March 2003, ACM Press.


Everything still works just fine, including the use of prototypes, 19 years later.  I just upgraded the stylesheet to X3D 4.0, add a little more document metadata, and confirmed that everything validates satisfactorily.  I think this passes anyone's definitiono of archival.  Very impressive, once again thanks Nicholas.


Have fun with X3D - for as long as you want!  8)


all the best, Don
