The mapping of EXPRESS-driven data into the HDF5 file format is
independent of the application programming interface used to
manipulate the HDF5 file.
NOTE Release 1.6.5 and Release 1.8.0 of the HDF5 Application Programming Interface are both supported by the mapping. HDF5 Release 1.8.0 contains new contructs that are not used in the mapping.
An HDF5 file conforms to this part of ISO 10303 if:
it conforms to the HDF5 file format specification, and
it is based on a valid EXPRESS schema which may interface other valid schemas, and
the EXPRESS-driven data is represented in the HDF5 file as specified in this part of ISO 10303.
Conformance related to pre- and post-processors is not within the scope of this part of ISO 10303.
