   Hierarchical Data Format
  
      (HDF) A {library} and multi-object file
      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.

      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}.
