OME-XML Major Version Release

21 October 2009 - An update to the OME Data Model

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 September 2008 release.

As this is a major release it makes use of a new namespace:
