We are currently planning for a Q2 2016 release of the product. In the meantime, we are working with a few early adopters on finalizing the initial feature set. If you have additional questions about HDF5/ODBC, or if you would like to become an early adopter, please contact us ...
We’re pleased to announce that The HDF Group is now a member of the Open Commons Consortium (formerly Open Cloud Consortium), a not for profit that manages and operates cloud computing and data commons infrastructure to support scientific, medical, health care and environmental research.
The HDF Group will be participating in the NOAA Data Alliance Working Group (WG) on the WG committee that will determine the datasets to be hosted in the NOAA data commons as well as tools to be used in the computational ecosystem surrounding the NOAA data commons.

“The Open Commons Consortium (OCC) is a truly innovative concept for supporting scientific computing,” said Mike Folk, The HDF Group’s President. “Their cloud computing and data commons infrastructure supports a wide range of research, and OCC’s membership spans government, academia, and the private sector. This is a good opportunity for us to learn about how we can best serve these communities.”
The HDF Group will also participate in the Open Science Data Cloud working group and receive resource allocations on the OSDC Griffin resource. The HDF Group’s John Readey is working with the OCC and others to investigate ways to use Griffin effectively. Readey says, “Griffin is a great testbed for cloud-based systems. With access to object storage (using the AWS/S3 api) and the ability to programmatically create VM’s, we will explore new methods for the analysis of scientific datasets.”
Joel Plutchak, The HDF Group The HDF Group’s support for and use of the Java Programming Language consists of Java wrappers for the HDF4 and HDF5 C libraries, an Object Model definition and implementation, and HDFView, a graphical file viewing application. In this article we'll discuss what we’re doing now with Java, and look toward the future.
