- * \brief Group Interface
- * \details The HDF5 Dataset Interface, H5D, provides a mechanism for managing
- * HDF5 datasets, including the transfer of data between memory and
- * disk and the description of dataset properties.
+/**\defgroup H5D H5D
+ *
+ * Use the functions in this module to manage HDF5 datasets, including the
+ * transfer of data between memory and disk and the description of dataset
+ * properties. Datasets are used by other HDF5 APIs and referenced either by
+ * name or by a handle. Such handles can be obtained by either creating or
+ * opening the dataset.
+ *
+ * Typical stages in the HDF5 dataset life cycle are shown below in introductory
+ * examples.
