What kind of datasets?  Maybe the File I/O Directives

There is no need for some fancy conversion program.  POV-Ray uses a simple
text format (as explained in the user manual) and it should be trivial to
directly convert your datasets to a scene you can render directly, assuming
you have some code able to parse your datasets, of course.
