Introduction

The OME API is an object-oriented framework for accessing information in an OME database, and for performing common workflow tasks in a consistent way. It is written in Perl; for accessing OME methods from another programming language, refer to the Remote framework section.

API reference

Each OME Perl module contains inline documentation in the standard POD format. This documentation is readily available via the perldoc command on a machine with an installed copy of OME. The documentation has also been converted into HTML format.
