Class: OME

Class: OME#

The OME element is a container for all information objects accessible by OME.

These information objects include descriptions of the imaging experiments and the people who perform them, descriptions of the microscope, the resulting images and how they were acquired, the analyses performed on those images, and the analysis results themselves. An OME file may contain any or all of this information. With the creation of the Metadata Only Companion OME-XML and Binary Only OME-TIFF files the top level OME node has changed slightly. It can EITHER: Contain all the previously expected elements OR: Contain a single BinaryOnly element that points at its Metadata Only Companion OME-XML file.

rights : None | Rights (The OME Rights). project : list[Project] (The OME Projects). dataset : list[Dataset] (The OME Datasets). folder : list[Folder] (The OME Folders). experiment : list[Experiment] (The OME Experiments). plate : list[Plate] (The OME Plates). screen : list[Screen] (The OME Screens). experimenter : list[Experimenter] (The OME Experimenters). experimenter_group : list[ExperimenterGroup] (The OME ExperimenterGroups). instrument : list[Instrument] (The OME Instruments). image : list[Image] (The OME Images). structured_annotations : None | StructuredAnnotations (The OME StructuredAnnotations). roi : list[ROI] (The OME ROIs). binary_only : None | “OME.BinaryOnly” Pointer to an external metadata file. If this element is present, then no other metadata may be present in this file, i.e. this file is a place- holder. uuid : None | str This unique identifier is used to keep track of multi part files. It allows the links between files to survive renaming. While OPTIONAL in the general case this is REQUIRED in a MetadataOnly Companion to a collection of BinaryOnly files. creator : None | str This is the name of the creating application of the OME-XML and preferably its full version. e.g “CompanyName, SoftwareName, V2.6.3456” This is optional but we hope it will be set by applications writing out OME-XML from scratch.
