Thanks Ralf,

This answers my question about the absence of I/O Numpy format.

There are three other points related to this format proposal:

- integration of a semantic level above the number / character formats as for datetime (e.g. units, point / polygon, URI, email, IP, encoding...), - neutral format (platform independent) for multidimensional data including multi-variables, axes, indexes and metadata, - finally the conversion of tabular data into multi-dimensional data (dimension greater than 2) via a neutral format.

Do these points interest Numpy or would this rather concern applications built on a Numpy base?

I think the latter. Cheers, Ralf
