Alpha-Release Notice

This is a fork created by Mira Geoscience for interoperability with the geoh5 file format.

Why?

An open-source serialization format and API library to support data interchange across the entire mining community.

Scope

This library provides an abstracted object-based interface to the underlying OMF serialization format, which enables rapid development of the interface while allowing for future changes under the hood.

Goals

The goal of Open Mining Format is to standardize data formats across the mining community and promote collaboration
The goal of the API library is to provide a well-documented, object-based interface for serializing OMF files

Alternatives

OMF is intended to supplement the many alternative closed-source file formats used in the mining community.

Connections

This library makes use of the properties open-source project, which is designed and publicly supported by Seequent.

Connection to the geoh5 format makes use of geoh5py publicly supported by Mira Geoscience
