Towards Long-Term Archiving of NASA HDF-EOS and HDF Data - Data Maps and the Use of Mark-Up language (original) (raw)

2007

Abstract

Abstract The Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) has been a data format standard in NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) since the 1990s. Its rich structure, platform independence, full-featured Application Programming Interface (API), and internal compression make it very useful for archiving science data and utilizing them with a rich set of software tools. However, a key drawback for long-term archiving is the complex internal byte layout of HDF files, requiring one to use the API to access HDF data. This ...
