2017 ESIP Summer Meeting

HDF data from many scientific disciplines can be integrated into analytical tools for analysis and visualization on desktops and over the network. Analytical results can be saved to HDF for archive or distribution.

Geographic information systems are increasingly important for scientists and decision makers trying to understand complex environmental problems that require integration of many different data types from multiple sources. Integrating HDF data into these tools can be a challenge for many users. This session will include updates from developers of several popular GIS tools: ESRI and Harris as well as a presentation on recently developed tools for accessing HDF data with the GDAL library.

The EOS Archive includes many products that were designed several decades ago and have successfully served science needs ever since. How can we insure that these products continue to serve these needs in the future? This session will include presentations by The HDF Group on data migration, product design, and standard metadata for HDF products.

The Hierarchical Data Format is used in many Earth Science communities and many other domains. This session will include presentations about a variety of HDF capabilities and tools.
