OME/METADATA.ome.xml for Plate doesn't use
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Just reading https://github.com/ome/ngff/pull/112/files#diff-ffe6148e5d9f47acc4337bb319ed4503a810214933e51f5f3e46a227b10e3fcdR273 while looking at OME/METADATA.ome.xml
generated for Plates at broadinstitute/lincs-cell-painting#54 I noticed that the <Image />
elements are missing <MetadataOnly/>
elements that are required by the proposed NGFF spec.
I don't know if that OME/METADATA.ome.xml
is valid or not.
Downloaded sample with:
aws s3 sync s3://cellpainting-gallery/cpg0004-lincs/broad/images/2016_04_01_a549_48hr_batch1/images_zarr/SQ00014812__2016-05-23T20_44_31-Measurement1.ome.zarr/OME ./OME --no-sign-request
MetadataOnly
was added in #156, which is in 0.5.0-rc2. Which version was used to generate the sample data?
Ah, thanks.
According to broadinstitute/lincs-cell-painting#54 (comment) it looks like bioformats2raw 0.5.0rc1
was used.
@sbesson do we care about missing <MetadataOnly/>
elements? If we did, is there a way of re-generating the METADATA.ome.xml
without doing a full conversion?
I think the primary impact of missing <MetadataOnly/>
is that the XML is invalid according to the OME schema.
Possibly, the most immediate question is whether this would prevent the metadata population to be populated at import time or whether the reader can handle such XML.
If we need to correct the metadata without a full conversion, I think a script iterating through XML and adding a MetadataOnly
element to each Image
would be an option.

Closing since this is fixed and released in 0.5.0.
