OME-XML captures all image acquisition and experimental metadata along with the binary image data and packages it into an easily readable structure. See the OME-XML FAQ entry for details.
OME-TIFF stores binary image data in standard multi-page TIFF files, while using OME-XML in the header to preserve rich metadata. See the OME-TIFF for details.
