One typical use case in my interactive work is that I have functions that have a DataArray or Dataset object as their only input, they perform some processing on the data and return an updated Dataset. Some additional information needed for this processing, such as an integer identifier of the experiment from which the data come from, are stored as attributes, so that when I have multiple instances of the same kind of objects, I will not mess up data from different experiments together.
