Abstract
      The Visible Human Project Phase I was completed in 1995 with the release of nearly 13,000 pictures on the Internet. The segmentation and classification of the thorax followed with the addition of anatomical information to the photographic data. Both of these portions of the Visible Human Project were funded by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Now the NLM has partnered with other organizations to incorporate this image data into an educational program and prepare for the production of next generation datasets.
 
Keywords: Anatomy, dataset, deglutition, education, facial expression, head and neck, hearing, mastication, hearing, phonation, tools, vision, world-wide-web.
