+== Common Atlas Format and 3D Brain Atlas Reconstructor: Infrastructure for Constructing 3D Brain Atlases ==

+
+== ABSTRACT ==
+
+One of the challenges of modern neuroscience is integrating voluminous
+data of diferent modalities derived from a variety of specimens. This
+task requires a common spatial framework that can be provided by brain
+atlases. The first atlases were limited to two-dimentional
+presentation of structural data. Recently, attempts at creating 3D
+atlases have been made to offer navigation within non-standard
+anatomical planes and improve capability of localization of different
+types of data within the brain volume.
+
+The 3D atlases available so far have been created using frameworks
+which make it difficult for other researchers to replicate the
+results. To facilitate reproducible research and data sharing in the
+field we propose an SVG-based Common Atlas Format (CAF) to store 2D
+atlas delineations or other compatible data and 3D Brain Atlas
+Reconstructor (3dBAR), software dedicated to automated
+reconstruction of three-dimensional brain structures from 2D atlas
+data. The basic functionality is provided by 1) a set of parsers which
+translate various atlases from a number of formats into the CAF, and
+2) a module generating 3D models from CAF datasets.
+
+The whole reconstruction process is reproducible and can easily be
+configured, tracked and reviewed, which facilitates fixing
+errors. Manual corrections can be made when automatic reconstruction
+is not sufficient. The software was designed to simplify
+interoperability with other neuroinformatics tools by using open file
+formats. The content can easily be exchanged at any stage of data
+processing. The framework allows for the addition of new public or
+proprietary content.
