# Zarr resources brainstorming (4)

Attending: Petr, J-m, Erin, Will, Josh

- URLs
- Placeholder ready for the paper
- Take something out of https://ome.github.io/ome-ngff-tools/
- Tools page:
- tools for dev
- move to something more like paper i.e. support t
- Data page:

# Zarr resources brainstorming (3)

Attending: Petr, J-m, Josh, Erin, Will

- URLs:
- ome.openmicroscopy.org/ngff/data
- link to IDR and other pages
- ome.openmicroscopy.org/ngff/tools
- Break-up spec page into pages?
- Replace bikeshed with readthedocs? Only use a couple of bikeshed features (internal links, abbreviations)

# Zarr resources brainstorming (2)

Attending: Petr, J-m, Josh, Erin

- Goal today: URLs to send to other authors
- data hierarchy:
- central location (TBD):
- individual catalogs
- links to bucket, etc.
- topic-matching repos
- whatever
- tool (registry) hierarchy:
- by-domain (for scientists)
- by-language (for devs)

- J-m: viewer table is developer centric
- JM: agreed, guide more verbose.
- ED: by domain rather than data type.

- Naming
- JM: bioformats2raw / ngff-converter
- bioformats
- bioformats2raw (lib) --> high-performance bioformats? multi-threaded bioformats
- bioformats2raw (cli) --> bioformats-cli? -writer?
- ngff-converter --> bioformats-gui
- ED: "import" sounds like a copy
- JM: also from the iRODS group. could see having `bin/omero register` (for inplace)
- ED: even have own importer of NGFF (especially with OMERO and NGFF). opportunity to not rewrite but be explicit.
- JB: essential to have the naming write
- PW: even renaming omero import, because it needs massive changes in the documentation
- you won't get it right the second time

- URLs (Erin left)
- keep URL
- probably RTD
- probably more subpages
- put redirects in place
- migrate notebooks?

# Zarr resources brainstorming (1)

Attending: Petr, J-m, Josh, Erin

- J-m: https://ome.github.io/ome-ngff-tools
- focused on viewers.
- People asking: where to find samples?
- Where do converters go?
- Where? github, ngff page, main docs web
- Other issues: logo, etc. (GS, GerBI)
- Example of files:
- https://uk1s3.embassy.ebi.ac.uk/bia-zarr-test/bia_examples.html
- https://idr.github.io/ome-ngff-samples/

- Erin: paper? landing page?
- Josh: certainly would be a good output of the paper
- J-m: also notebooks

- Erin: https://www.glencoesoftware.com/products/ngff-converter/ product page
- could also include import, etc. "state of OMERO Plus"
- everything else is really in blog posts
- Josh: how do others do it?
- https://hdfgroup.org/
- https://dicom4qi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/resources/datasets/
- https://github.com/marketplace
- https://www.openmicroscopy.org/ome-files/

- options
- ome.readthedocs.io/zarr/tools
- ome.readthedocs.io/zarr/data
- or guides.openmicroscopy.org/zarr
- possibly: github.com/ome/ome-zarr-tools
- https://github.com/topics/omero-cli-plugin

- table as intersection of tools X data
- most valuable
- requires more
- Erin: 3d, plates, labels, ...
- J-m: currently "spec validator"

- **progression**
- blog (timestamped)
- github table (timestamped)
- maintained documentation page
