[hdf-forum] Dataspace sample sizes, units, and labels

[Edwin Bennink]

Dear HDF forum members,

We are going to use HDF5 for storage of 3D microscopy images and 
metadata. These are usually 5D arrays (XYZ, time, and channels).
I was wondering if there's a common way to define the sample sizes, 
units (e.g. meters, seconds), and dimension labels (e.g. "X", "Y", "Z", 
"T", etc.) for an HDF5 dataspace. Does HDF5 support these parameters 
natively? Apart from the 'dimension scales' I couldn't find anything 
related to this issue in the specs.

With kind regards,
