That ID is a handle. It is a value that is only valid at runtime - that far I 
understood HDF5.
For checking types for equality there are things like H5Tequal(...) - but I had 
not much of expected success when using that myself in a single case.

hid_t dtype_id = H5Dget_type( dataset_id ); std::cout << dtype_id << std::endl; 
std::cout << H5T_IEEE_F64LE << std::endl;
