links are broken

The "See Also" links are broken. Rukky 18:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The links in "High-level APIs" are fixed; the "See also" links were fine when I tried them. +mt 19:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism is highly subjective

- All criticism comes from a single source - Which only uses the h5py interface to HDF5 - And is not able to abstract the bugs he found in the h5py package from the fileformat itself — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4822:3DFA:709C:56F5:523F:89A5 (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

HDF-Structure-Example could be clearer/better

Relating to the image located in the 3. HD5 section.

Swath structure, group structure, group sequence . . . As an example for the structure we might be better served by keeping things simple/related to terms that are actually defined in the article itself. I would like to include a structure example but think a simpler/better named example would be helpful. rigsby (talk)

Irrelevant See Also?

It's entirely unclear to me how Google Protobufs are in any way related to HDF5. I accept that most comments from unverified IPs aren't worth reading if the author couldn't even be bothered to create an account, but that's neither here nor there. How are these two linked? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:4EA8:1801:ECF7:750B:8F09:B953 (talk) 01:14, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree -- more relevant see alsos would be scientific or other array storage formats, for example: Zarr, Parquet, Arrow, even CSV and friends. Protobufs are more closely related to other things.

(This point seems to be enough to bother two separate unverified commenters to the extent of visiting the talk page :) 69.202.177.205 (talk) 03:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
