NGFF update
- OME roadmap/OKR
- Seb: original goals in September. Full export of collections + rendering +K/V as OME-Zarr and reimport
- Too ambitious?
- Axes spec. PR #57 and image.sc Should spec say SHOULD be zyx? Waiting on implementations:
- omero-cli-zarr
- ome-zarr-py: scales in 2D: zyx
- vizarr: axis names OK, but not transformations, only handle zyx (not xyz)
- napari-ome-zarr:
- Validation Salad schema PR
- Some MUST rules can’t be validated by Salad - (see PR)
- Classes are “guessed” based on field names - Not JSON-LD class “type”
- Fails if a MUST rule is not met, but SHOULD rules not handled
- How to handle versioning?
- Don’t know how to split files up
- How to allow ANY key-value pairs?
- No decsion yet on whether to proceed with SALAD or if a different approach is needed.
- Various features / use-cases we want from validation, not just JSON checking. E.g. linking, search, RDF (JSON-LD features)
- Not enough time to cover everything in today’s meeting. Need another meeting - next week?
- Public v0.3 data
- Where to do conversion and hosting?
