Query: Is HDF5 a good format to replace UVFITS?   The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) data format was developed in the
late 1970s for storage and exchange of astronomy-related image data. Since
then, it has become a standard file format not only for images, but also for
radio interferometer data (e.g. UVFITS, FITS-IDI). But is FITS the right format
for next-generation telescopes to adopt? The newer Hierarchical Data Format
(HDF5) file format offers considerable advantages over FITS, but has yet to
gain widespread adoption within radio astronomy. One of the major holdbacks is
that HDF5 is not well supported by data reduction software packages. Here, we
present a comparison of FITS, HDF5, and the MeasurementSet (MS) format for
storage of interferometric data. In addition, we present a tool for converting
between formats. We show that the underlying data model of FITS can be ported
to HDF5, a first step toward achieving wider HDF5 support.
