Using HDF5 to Store Geospatial Records (NARA project)

The merits of HDF5 and HDF-EOS are considered for storing a variety of types of geospatial data. This work involves mapping many different geospatial data formats to HDF5 and/or HDF-EOS, converting sample files, developing visualization tools for examining these files, and performance analyses. Supported by the National Archives and Records Administration and the Illinois State Geological Survey, this use of HDF5 and HDF-EOS is seen to have potential value for the long-term preservation of geospatial data, as well as providing efficient storage and access in active geospatial data repositories.
