<div dir="ltr">I promised to roughly describe the CellProfiler use case - we recently published a paper whose data should be available on-line, so I based it on that. Enclosed is what I wrote up as well as the paper and the supplement. The supplement is actually more important because it has more details about the analysis (and the features).<div>

<a href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/community/minutes/minigroup/omero-features-meetings/2013-11-06-omero-features-google-hangout" target="_blank">http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/community/minutes/minigroup/omero-features-meetings/2013-11-06-omero-features-google-hangout</a><br>

<br>
Summary:<br>
We&#39;re thinking of representing features as a 2D array, with metadata stored as key-value maps attached to the array, or individual columns or rows. These keys could describe things such as the feature name (column), sample metadata (row), algorithm parameters, calculation pipelines, etc.<br>

<br>
This should work as an OMERO API- in order to retrieve features you&#39;d pass in a set of key-value pairs, for instance to specify which features you want and which images/ROIs etc, and OMERO would handle the logic and return the feature table(s) matching those parameters. Since everyone has different requirements the keys could be anything, however we&#39;re trying to define a small set of standard keys- any suggestions are very welcome.<br>

<br>
Outside of OMERO we still need a format for transporting features, so we&#39;re thinking some form of HDF5.<br>
