This session will provide a brief overview of the HDF5 file format, data model, and API with a focus on how it can used for the collection and analysis of environmental data. We will also discuss HSDS (Highly Scalable Data Service), a web service designed for working with HDF data. HSDS enables data to be accessed by multiple readers and writers and provides the ability to scale to very large data collections. For the conclusion, an example of HDF5 and HSDS usage for large-scale (open) data analytics will be provided.
