New Approach: HDF5 • A unified data model to managing and processing data • Three phases of work • Phase1 (completed): research paper and initial prototype for testing the idea. • Phase 2 (in progress): prototype for spatiotemporal data model and dynamic data feed. Same approach can be applied to earth science data HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
