The Allotrope Data Format (ADF) is a HDF5 based format for storing data from analytical instruments. The data is annotated with an RDF based triple store following the W3C RDF Data Cube vocabulary. A manifest defines the instrument type. The Allotrope Foundation Ontology (AFO) defines the data description. Data to be plotted is stored in multidimensional arrays. A scale (or dimension) denotes the X axis and measures the Y axis. If an explicit scale is missing, it might be defined by a range of values in the data description instead. Original data in vendor-specific formats may be included in the data package.
