[ImageJ-devel] Fwd: [ome-devel] Storing 6D and 7D in OME-XML & OME-TIFF

[Jason Swedlow]

Dear All-

This is just FYI.  Please note that this is transitional.  We want to get towards an n-dim model, and will need to make sure this is compatible with what is happening in ImageJ.

We'll be moving this into OME-TIFF and Bio-Formats, and then OMERO.  We'll be roadmapping this over the next month or so.

Comments etc welcome, probably best on the OME Forums (http://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/).

Cheers,

Jason

> Hello,

> We have been doing some further work on fitting data that requires more than 5 dimensions into the OME data model. 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.
> 
> 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.

> When the OME model moves to be N-dimensional we can upgrade data stored in this structure.

> We hope this proposal will work for your data.
