OME-XML Schema
==============

The Bio-Formats C++ implementation currently uses schema version
:model_doc:`2013-06 <schemas/june-2013.html>` of the OME-XML data
model.  The :doxygen:`model <namespaceome_1_1xml_1_1model.html>` and
:doxygen:`metadata <namespaceome_1_1xml_1_1meta.html>` interfaces and
classes are generated from this schema and will read and write OME-XML
and OME-TIFF files using this version of the schema.  See the
:ref:`bf-cpp-tutorial` section for further details of these
interfaces.

The implementation will be updated to use a newer version of the OME-XML
schema in a future release.
