Description (last modified by crueden-x)

I sent an email to the ome-devel mailing list with a list of proposed augmentations to the OME-TIFF format, arrived at through discussion with other OME developers and interested parties. In summary:

  1. Allow OME-TIFF datasets to use BigTIFF, rather than normal 32-bit TIFF, as appropriate.
  2. Update the recommended filename extension from .tif to .ome.tif, for clarity.
  3. Include an XML comment at the top of the OME-XML metadata block with a warning to those who would edit the block by hand.
  4. Store a hash (SHA1) of the pixel data associated with each TiffData? element.
  5. Store a hash (SHA1) of the OME-XML metadata in a custom TIFF tag.

The OME-TIFF web site needs to be updated to include these ideas, and our sample data should also reflect the recommendations as closely as possible (probably easiest to use an updated Bio-Formats to write new sample OME-TIFF files; see ticket #82).

The OmeTiffSpec page has been updated. Items 1, 2 and 3 above are integrated. I also added a section on embedding OME-XML into only a subset of the TIFF files, which can greatly reduce file size when storing one plane per OME-TIFF, but also reduces redundancy. And I added more section summaries to make the prose easier to read.

Regarding item 4, I did not mention the ability to embed a SHA1 per image plane, since that is not OME-TIFF-specific. And I did not mention anything with respect to item 5 because as far as I know, we never added a standard way to store a SHA1 of the OME-XML metadata.

The artificial sample data on the OmeTiffData page has been updated to the 2011-06 schema, using the MakeTestOmeTiff data generator, which has been overhauled and migrated to the loci.formats.tools package.
