03 Scientific Data Format: CDF
CDF (Common Data Format) is a library and toolkit for storing, manipulating,
and accessing multi-dimensional data sets. The basic component of CDF is a
software programming interface that is a device independent view of the
CDF data model.
All software and related information, including a FAQ and hypertext User's
Guide with searchable WAIS index, are available from the WWW site:

A user's guide and software are on <URL:ftp://nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov/cdf.dir/>
for VMS and <URL:ftp://ncgl.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/cdf/> for all others.
A recent paper for CDF is available from
<URL:ftp://ncgl.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/cdf/doc/papers/>.
A mailing list, cdf-users@nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov, exists for discussion of CDF.

Questions can be directed to cdfsupport@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov.
A client-server software layer called CSCDF, which can be used with
the CDF library to provide applications access to remote CDF datasets,
can be obtained from its author, Hillel Steinberg, by email at
zeus@cs.umd.edu.
