  • OME-NGFF Session

    We use the term next-generation file formats (NGFFs) to denote file formats that can be hosted natively in an object (or cloud) storage for direct access by a large number of users. Our current work, which we refer to as OME-NGFF, is built upon the Zarr format5 but heavily informed and connected to both TIFF and HDF5.

    We assert that together low-latency, cloud-capable NGFF, TIFF and HDF5 can provide a balanced set of options that the community can converge upon and slow the development of ever more file formats. To this end, OME is committed to building an interoperable metadata representation across all three file formats to ensure ease of adoption and data exchange

  • DataStore Session

    The DataStore is shortest described as BigDataServer that can also accept images besides serving them. In other words, it is a REST HTTP-based client-server for downloading/uploading chunks from images from/to a remote dataset. The server is storing image data using the N5 on disk in a BigDataViewer unique XML/N5 dialect. The server communicates with its clients using our own simple protocol.
