Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Virtual Zarr builds on decades of work in scientific data formats. We are grateful to the people who did it.
The HDF4 Mapping Project team laid the groundwork. Ruth Aydt managed the project. Mike Folk, Hyo-Kyung Lee, Binh-Minh Ribler, and MuQun Yang came from The HDF Group, Christopher Lynnes from GES-DISC, and Ruth E. Duerr and Luis Lopez from NSIDC.
Aleksandar Jelenak wrote the first version of what would become Kerchunk reference files. Rich Signell connected Aleksandar with Martin Durant, who then created Kerchunk. James Gallagher created DMR++. Virtual Zarr builds on their work.
