<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Many of you are thinking about mechanisms for archiving and releasing original data associated with scientific publications. </font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Last week, the Stowers Institute announced their institutional repository for original data associated with their publications. The announcement is here:</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>

<div><a href="http://www.stowers.org/media/news/jul-13-2012" target="_blank"><font size="3">http://www.stowers.org/media/news/jul-13-2012</font></a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><font size="3">And the repository itself is here:</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><a href="http://srdr.stowers.org/" target="_blank"><font size="3">http://srdr.stowers.org/</font></a></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The Stowers ODR is based on Bio-Formats and OMERO, open source technology built by the OME Consortium (http://www.openmicroscopy.org/). The OME Consortium is supported by grants from the Wellcome Trust and the BBSRC.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">As you probably know, the JCB DataViewer (</font><a href="http://jcb-dataviewer.rupress.org" target="_blank"><font size="3">http://jcb-dataviewer.rupress.org</font></a><font size="3">) and ASCB CELL (</font><a href="http://cellimagelibrary.org" target="_blank"><font size="3">http://cellimagelibrary.org</font></a><font size="3">)
are other examples of public image repositories based on OMERO and Bio-Formats. </font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The OME Consortium is proud that its technology is helping make scientific data open and freely available.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Cheers,</font></div>
