Comment(by Pete Jemian):

 one suggestion from the 2010 ESRF workshop on HDF5 was to add an attribute
 to identify the dimensionality of the data (useful when the data is
 hyperspectral):

 {{{
     <field name="intrinsic_dimensions">
         <doc>
             Describes the natural dimensionality of the elements in the
 dataset.
         </doc>
         <enumeration>
             <item value="0D"><doc>such as from a point
 detector</doc></item>
             <item value="1D"><doc>such as from a line or strip
 detector</doc></item>
             <item value="2D"><doc>such as from an area
 detector</doc></item>
             <item value="3D"><doc>such as a 1D series of 2D
 images</doc></item>
             <item value="4D"><doc>such as a 2D series of 2D
 images</doc></item>
         </enumeration>
     </field>
 }}}
