On Bringing Bioimaging Datainto the Open(-World)
Presented at the 12th International SWAT4HCLS Conference, Edinburgh, 2019.
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 OWL for the next generation of data formats.
