OME-XML Major Version Release

Search the CONFOCAL archive at http://listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=confocal Hello,

The Open Microscopy Environment are pleased to announce a major 
update to the OME-XML schema files. These files provide the 
authoritative description of the OME Data Model.

This is a major (breaking) version release that is NOT backwardly 
compatible with files created for the June 2007 release or September 
2007 release.

As a major release it makes use of a new namespace:
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/Schemas/OME/2008-02/

Full details of the changes made can be found at:

Key changes made with this release include:
- A unique identifier scheme to support multi file images.
- Preliminary support for hashes of plane data.
- Changes to the Description element.

Thank you to everyone who provided input to these changes. We welcome your suggestions for further improvements.
Comments can be emailed to us or added as tickets at:
