Hierarchical Data Format format for the transfer of graphical and numerical data between computeres. The freely available HDF distribution consists of the library, command line utilities, test suite source, {Java} interface, and the Java-based HDF Viewer (JHV). HDF supports several different {data models}, including multidimensional {arrays}, {raster images}, and tables. Each defines a specific aggregate data type and provides an {API} for reading, writing, and organising the data and {metadata}. New data models can be added by the HDF developers or users. HDF is self-describing, allowing an application to interpret the structure and contents of a file without any outside information. One HDF file can hold a mixture of related objects which can be accessed as a group or as individual objects. Users can create their own grouping structures called "vgroups". HDF files can be shared across most common {platforms}, including many workstations and high performance computers. An HDF file created on one computer can be read on a different system without modification. {Home (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/)}. (2001-07-02) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
hierarchical database records together like a family tree such that each record type has only one owner, e.g. an order is owned by only one customer. Hierarchical structures were widely used in the first {mainframe} database management systems. However, due to their restrictions, they often cannot be used to relate structures that exist in the real world. | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
hierarchical file system organised into a {hierarchy}. The nodes of the hierarchy are called {directories} while the leaves are the files themselves. See also {root directory}. Compare {flat file system}. (1996-11-21) | |

Hierarchical Music Specification Language experimental music composition and performance. It is a set of {object-oriented} extensions to {Forth}. (Its near-total unintelligibility to people unfamiliar with {Forth} has led some to expand "HMSL" as "Her Majesty's Secret Language".) Phil Burk (who also later developed {pForth}), Larry Polansky, and David Rosenboom started developing HMSL in 1980 while working at the {Mills College Center for Contemporary Music (http://www.mills.edu/LIFE/CCM/CCM.homepage.html)}. As of June 1998, development is ongoing. {(http://www.softsynth.com/hmsl/)}. (1998-09-07) | |

hierarchical navigation hierarchical structure matches that of the site to which the page belongs. A hierarchical navigation menu allows the user to jump ("navigate") directly to a section of the site several levels below the top. The menu may present only a fixed number of levels rather than the whole structure. (2003-10-01) | |

hierarchical routing The complex problem of routing on large networks can be simplified by breaking a network into a hierarchy of smaller networks, where each level is responsible for its own routing. The Internet has, basically, three levels: the backbones, the mid-levels, and the stub networks. The backbones know how to route between the mid-levels, the mid-levels know how to route between the sites, and each site (being an autonomous system) knows how to route internally. See also Exterior Gateway Protocol, Interior Gateway Protocol, transit network. | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
hierarchy An organisation with few things, or one thing, at the top and with several things below each other thing. An inverted tree structure. Examples in computing include a directory hierarchy where each directory may contain files or other directories; a hierarchical {network} (see {hierarchical routing}), a {class hierarchy} in {object-oriented programming}.
