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
