Some open questions:

• Should each possible property / dataset name be present in the configuration (chunk_params.json)? Or should there be one default that applies to all datasets, and overwrites would happen on specific datasets?
• Should each dataset be a candidate for chunking, or only datasets like "data", "timestamps". Any others?
• Should chunking be specified for datasets that are smaller than the chunk size? I.e chunkSize == maxSize?
• Should chunk_dimensions be specified for each set of dimension options, similar to how it is done in the nwb schema?

I.e. https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwb-schema/blob/473fcc41e871288767cfb37d83315cca7469b9d1/core/nwb.base.yaml#L100-L110

Should chunk_dimensions be specified for each set of dimension options, similar to how it is done in the nwb schema?

dims:
    - - num_times
    - - num_times
      - num_DIM2
    - - num_times
      - num_DIM2
      - num_DIM3
    - - num_times
      - num_DIM2
      - num_DIM3
      - num_DIM4

What would be the syntax?
Example (json):

"chunk_dimensions": [ [null], [null, 32], [null, 32, max] ]

Need to determine what to do with nested data types. For example: A RoiResponseSeries can be part of a Fluorescence or a DfOverF group. Should the spec support defining configuration for nested neurodata types dependent on were they are located, i.e:

"Fluorescence": {
        "RoiResponseSeries": {
            "data": {
                "chunk_dimensions": [null, 16]}
        }
    },
    "DfOverF": {
        "RoiResponseSeries": {
            "data": {
                "chunk_dimensions": [null, 32]}
        }
    }
