Common Data Format (CDF) is a conceptual data abstraction for storing
|
|
|
|
|
multi-dimensional data sets. The basic component of CDF is a software
|
|
|
|
|
programming interface that is a device independent view of the CDF data
|
|
|
|
|
model. The application developer is insulated from the actual physical
|
|
|
|
|
file format for reasons of conceptual simplicity, device independence,
|
|
|
|
|
and future expandability. CDF files created on any given platform can
|
|
|
|
|
be transported to any other platform on to which CDF is ported and used
|
|
|
|
|
with any CDF tools or layered applications. A more detailed introduction
|
|
|
|
|
to CDF can be found in the CDF User's Guide.
