File Format Specifications
OME-XML
OME partners at Dundee develop and maintain the OME-XML schemas that represent the data model. The XML namespaces for the current schemas are located on this site. This also where the XSD files are available to download from.
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/Schemas/
Note: any schemas and documentation below http://www.openmicroscopy.org/XMLschemas/ is preserved for legacy support only. This includes the 2003FC schema used by the original OME server.
OME-TIFF
OME partners at LOCI have developed a variant of the OME-XML File specifically designed for data acquisition and storage. This format, called OME-TIFF, uses OME-XML in the standard TIFF header and stores binary image data in a multi-page TIFF file.
Sample Image Files
These files along with an explination of there structure is available on the sample image files page.
XSLT Transform Samples
There are two transforms available that convert between the hierarchical pre-July 2007 OME schema and a flat CA only representation of that schema. These are used as part of the import process by the OME Server and are no longer being maintained.
- From full OME to OME-CA: OME-CA2OME.xslt
- From OME-CA to OME: OME2OME-CA.xslt
