/// Convert LHCb run 1 open data from a TTree to RNTuple.
/// This tutorial illustrates data conversion for a simple, tabular data model.
/// For reading, the tutorial shows the use of an ntuple View, which selectively accesses specific fields.
/// If a view is used for reading, there is no need to define the data model as an RNTupleModel first.
/// The advantage of a view is that it directly accesses RNTuple's data buffers without making an additional
/// memory copy.

// Functionality, interface, and data format is still subject to changes.
