<B>OBJECT REFERENCE:</B><BR>
A reference to an entire object in the current HDF5 file.
<P>
An object
reference points to an entire object in the current HDF5 file by storing
the relative file address (OID) of the object header for the object
pointed to. The relative file address of an object header is constant
for the life of the object. An object reference is of a fixed size in
the file.
<P>
<B>DATASET REGION REFERENCE:</B><BR>
Reference to a specific dataset region.
<P>
A dataset region reference points to a region of a dataset in the
current HDF5 file by storing the OID of the dataset and the global
heap offset of the region referenced. The region referenced is
located by retrieving the coordinates of the areas in the region
from the global heap. A dataset region reference is of a variable
size in the file.
