Our plan in the long term is to move to using an N-dimensional model but this will take a large amount of work to the Bio-Formats, the OMERO server and clients. In the short term we have devised a solution we can put in place that will allow up to 7 dimensions in our existing model. We have called this the Modulo solution.<br><br>This solution relies on using the Z and T dimensions to each store an extra dimension. The description of the extra dimensions are stored in StructuredAnnotation so the data looks like 5-D data, and can thus be stored in the current OME-TIFF and OMERO server.<br><br>Full details and sample files are available at:<br><br><a href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/file-formats/6d-and-7d-storage">http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/file-formats/6d-and-7d-storage</a><br><br>When the OME model moves to be N-dimensional we can upgrade data stored in this structure.<br><br>We hope this proposal will work for your data. <br><br>We welcome your suggestions for further improvements as always. Comments can be emailed to us or left on our forums: <br>http://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Andrew<br><br>----<br>Andrew Patterson<br>ajpatterson@lifesci.dundee.ac.uk<br>Software Developer, Open Microscopy Environment<br>Wellcome Trust Centre for Gene Regulation and Expression, University of Dundee<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>ome-devel mailing list<br>ome-devel@lists.openmicroscopy.org.uk<br>http://lists.openmicroscopy.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/ome-devel<br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
