Detailed Description

An datasets has many characteristics similar to an attribute, thus both Attribute and DataSet are derivatives of AbstractDs. DataSet also inherits from H5Object because a dataset is an HDF5 object.

Examples:
chunks.cpp, compound.cpp, create.cpp, extend_ds.cpp, h5group.cpp, readdata.cpp, and writedata.cpp.
