This paper describes Ada95 bindings for HDF4 and HDF5, the current versions of the NCSA Hierarchical Data Format (HDF). These self-describing file formats are intended for storage of large, diverse collections of scientific data and for retrieving subsets of these data. The libraries also support data compression, chunking of large arrays, and automatic conversion of vendor-specific binary formats for a variety of data types.
