On bringing bioimaging data into the open (World)

Abstract

For over 15 years, the Open Microscopy Environment (OME) Data Model has provided a basis for the storage, exchange and re-use of bioimaging data. During that time, XML Schema and XSL Transformations have provided a reliable mechanism to support the yearly updates to the model, keeping valuable data accessible by the research community. However, the acceleration of developments in the bioimaging domain now demand a more flexible, collaborative representation without the loss of versioning control. The OME Consortium proposes to adopt the semantic web stack for a next generation of data formats. Copyright © 2019 for this paper by its authors.
