TY - JOUR T1 - Maintaining the provenance of microscopy metadata using OMERO.forms software JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/109199 SP - 109199 AU - Douglas P.W. Russell AU - Peter K. Sorger Y1 - 2017/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/02/16/109199.abstract N2 - The creation of datasets that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reproducible (the FAIR standard) requires that data provenance be maintained1. Provenance is particularly important for microscopy data, whose interpretation is dependent on the biological context (e.g. cell state) and detection reagent (e.g. antibody.) This paper describes a new software tool, OMERO.forms, that extends the OMERO microscopy data management system2 to simplify and enhance metadata entry and provenance tracking. ER -
