[h5md-user] The first H5MD modules: "particles" and "observables"

[Felix Höfling]

Hi all,

Now that we have modules defined in the spec, I suggest to take this  
concept seriously and to promote the sections on  "particles" and  
"observables" as definitions of modules.

These modules will already be part of the H5MD spec v1.0, others may be  
added later (updating the version of the spec but not of the H5MD format  
itself). The structure of the file would not be changed, just the way it  
is presented.

The core specification will then mainly specify the metadata and the  
storage of time-independent and time-dependent data and introduce the  
concept of a "data group". Further it contains the box specification (but  
does not say where to put it, this is left to each module).

For the fate of the parameters group, I have no strong opinion. I could  
become a module as well or stay next to h5md as it is.

What do you think?

Felix
