<p>Hi Everyone!</p>
<p> The next telco will be held on April 26th at 14:00 UTC (<a href="https://www.nexusformat.org/Telco_20220426.html" class="OWAAutoLink">web page</a>). Since the NFDI workshop demonstrated significant interest in container file formats other than HDF5 and
XML (e.g. <a href="https://csmd.ornl.gov/software/adios2" class="OWAAutoLink">ADIOS</a>,
<a href="https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/" class="OWAAutoLink">Zarr</a>), I have invited Alexander Debus and Franz Pöschel to join our discussion on support of container file formats. I think that now is a good time to consider what should be our core
definition of how NeXus is expressed in each container file format. Some options include:<br>
</p>
<div>
<ul>
<li>English description in manual (i.e. current implementation).</li><li>Functional code (e.g. validator, reader, writer).</li><li>XML declarations.</li><li>Example files (maybe make an NXexample application definition for this purpose).</li></ul>
</div>
<div>See you soon,</div>
