Exploiting HDF5 Technologies to Represent Geo-Information - An Example with Complex Terrain Data

The complexities inherent in mission operations make the information management task an immense challenge, one which must be addressed in part by focusing on how information is organized, integrated, accessed, and analyzed. Toward that end the goals of this study are to identify the role that HDF5 can play as a data management platform for Battlefield military operations, and to demonstrate the use of web-based tools in combination with HDF5 to organize and work with a wide range of operational data. This demonstration shows how HDF5 can help achieve semantic interoperability and spatio-temporal connectivity among of a wide variety of data types, including physical terrain data, human terrain data, multimedia sources, dynamic data, multi-dimensional data, multi-scale data, and time sequence data.
