  Common Data Format (CDF) is a conceptual data abstraction for storing
  multi-dimensional data sets. The basic component of CDF is a software
  programming interface that is a device independent view of the CDF data
  model. The application developer is insulated from the actual physical
  file format for reasons of conceptual simplicity, device independence,
  and future expandability. CDF files created on any given platform can
  be transported to any other platform on to which CDF is ported and used
  with any CDF tools or layered applications. A more detailed introduction
  to CDF can be found in the CDF User's Guide.
  A comparison between CDF, netCDF, HDF and HDF5 is available at
  http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/FAQ.html.
