[ome-users] OME-TIFF and OME-XML file validator

[Andrew Patterson]

OME-TIFF and OME-XML file validator

To help check the integrity of OME files we have produced an online  
validator. This understands the 2004 and 2007 schemas and can process  
both OME-TIFF and OME-XML files. It is available at:

http://validator.openmicroscopy.org.uk/

This is the initial release of the validator and performs a series of  
basic checks on the file:
  * Conforming to the XML Schema
  * Checking internal references
    - Listing missing internal references
    - Listing external references
  * Checking "tiff data" block usage
  * Checking frame counts in tiff files

More checks will be added over time.

We hope you will find this useful in your work.

Thanks for your continued support,

Andrew
