Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for storing data from an array-based computing language in a determined scientific data format enabling data sharing, the method comprising: providing an array-based computing language data object having a plurality of elements, wherein at least one element, in the plurality of elements, is of a user-defined type, and wherein a first element, in the plurality of elements, is of a first type and a second element, in the plurality of elements, is of a second type, the first type being different than the second type; associating the array-based computing language data object with a particular top level group in the determined scientific data format, wherein the particular top level group includes one or more child nodes; storing a specific element of the array-based computing language data object in a specific child node of the particular top level group, wherein the specific element is associated with a reference that is used to reference the specific child node; and storing description information associated with the array-based computing language data object, wherein the stored description information enables loading of data stored in the determined scientific data format as an array-based computing language object.
