HDF4 Mapping Project - Schema

The HDF4 mapping XML schema defines the elements and attributes in an HDF4 file content map. These elements and attributes are used to describe the data and grouping objects in HDF4 files, as well as the structural and application metadata associated with those objects and with the entire HDF4 file.

This schema can be used to validate an HDF4 map file produced by the writer. The W3C XML Schema language was used to express the HDF4 mapping schema.
