Looking into "more usual", I can think of keeping the present  
notation for groups and datasets. Altough it does not make a  
distinction between the two, it has never posed a problem to me.
Regarding attributes, I agree that they should be denoted in a  
different way.
I propose
    trajectory
     \-- group1
          \-- position
          |    \-- sample
          |    |    +-- minimum
          |    |    +-- maximum
          |    \-- step
          |    \-- time
Or
    trajectory
     \-- group1
          \-- position
          |    \-- sample
          |    |    --- minimum
          |    |    --- maximum
          |    \-- step
          |    \-- time
that is, using "+--" or "---" for the attributes.
