OME-XML Format

This site contains general information on the OME-XML schema and documentation for the 2003 release. There are also examples of how this schema is used by the perl OME server.

The LOCI Team announced a variant form of OME-XML, known as OME-TIFF in 2005. This format combines the metadata facilities of OME-XML with the standardized storage of binary data via TIFF. The new format is ideal for storing data for visualization and analysis. The OME-TIFF specification shows how to read and write OME-TIFF files.

In July 2007 information about the ongoing development of the OME-XML data model was moved to http://www.ome-xml.org/ and this site can now be used to obtain the latest developer information. Users can add work tickets to the system detailing any changes they feel should be made. The site also contains details of the changes made for the 2007 releases.
