HDF4 (originally known as HDF) is a file format for storing scientific data and
|
|
a software library that provides high-level APIs and a low-level data interface.
|
|
|
|
HDF technologies at present include two data management formats (HDF4 and HDF5)
|
|
and libraries, a modular data browser/editor, associated tools and utilities,
|
|
and a conversion library. Both HDF4 and HDF5 were designed to be a general
|
|
scientific format, adaptable to virtually any scientific or engineering
|
|
application, and also have been used successfully in non-technical areas. The
|
|
Open Source format is a key technological foundation for HDF core technologies.
|
|
It allows users to collaborate with The HDF Group regarding functionality
|
|
requirements and permits users' experience and knowledge to be incorporated into
|
|
the HDF product when appropriate. It also permits users and organizations
|
|
without adequate technology resources to use a sophisticated and robust data
|
|
management tool for no charge.
