/* WriteDamsel.cpp
 * The Damsel library provides mesh-aware parallel I/O; see
 * http://cucis.ece.northwestern.edu/projects/DAMSEL/ for details, though for now that site is
 * restricted to project participants.  Damsel uses a data model that's very similar to that used in
 * MOAB and ITAPS.  It uses the same basic data model concepts of entities, sets, tags, and
 * interface. In theory, we should be able to completely save/restore to/from Damsel any data that
 * can be saved/restored to/from our native HDF5-based reader/writer.
 *
 * Mapping between MOAB-Damsel data models
 * =======================================
 * Basic data model entities, MOAB <--> Damsel:
 *        Entity <--> Entity
 *     EntitySet <--> Collection
 *           Tag <--> Tag
 * API/data strutures:
 *          Range (n1) <--> Sequence container
 *         std::vector <--> Vector container
 *          Range (n2) <--> Tree container
 *
 * n1: single contiguous subrange
 * n2: multiple subranges
 *
 * Conventions
 * ===========
 * There are parts of MOAB data structures that need to be stored to Damsel that aren't represented
 * in the Damsel data model, e.g. dense vs. sparse storage type, set tracking flags.
 * - We need to store these as tags in Damsel.
 * - Since Damsel tags need to have a MOAB counterpart, we have to create those as tag data in MOAB
 * too (duplicating the data in the data structures, bummer).
 * - Because we may want to use these tags for multiple Damsel writes/models, we create the
 * MOAB-side tags in the WriteDamsel constructor, not in the init_tags function that's called for
 * every write
 * - Conventional tags have names prefixed with mbdmsl_ to avoid name conflicts with other MOAB
 * tags. Here we list the conventional tags used by MOAB's Damsel reader/writer.
 *
 * Tag name                   Tag char's (storage type, data type, length, def val)       Values,
 * used for what
 * --------                   -----------------------------------------------------
 * -------------------- mbdmsl_XCOORDS             dense; double[1]; 0.0 MOAB vertex x coordinate
 * mbdmsl_YCOORDS             dense; double[1]; 0.0                                       MOAB
 * vertex y coordinate mbdmsl_ZCOORDS             dense; double[1]; 0.0 MOAB vertex z coordinate
 * mbdmsl_COLL_FLAGS          sparse; char; 1; 0x0                                        bit 0:
 * 0=set-type, 1=vector-type 1: 1=tracking, 0=not tracking mbdmsl_PARENTS      sparse; handle; var;
 * (list of parent sets) mbdmsl_CHILDS       sparse; handle; var; (list of child sets)
