The Image Element contains core metadata that can be used for display and processing of the associated binary image data. Currently, an OME Compliant image completes all of the metadata in the Image Element. By the end of 2010, we aim to include the Instrument Element in the OME Compliant specification. The Bio-Formats library provides support for writing OME-XML either as a stand-alone file or within the header of an OME-TIFF file. The full XML Schema version of the OME Data Model is available at!http://ome-xml.org/browser/Schemas/OME/2010-04/ ome.xsd. Updates to the OME Data Model are announced on the project’s roadmap site (http://ome-xml.org/roadmap).
