Up: Organising data

Key-values are very powerful way to organise your data. They allow to search and organise your data. The simplest example is a key or attribute separated by a colon :, followed by a value.

For example:

 dose : 100
 time : 2 

There are four ways to add key-value pairs to your data in OMERO. The csv route is probably the most convenient. It may be more difficult to learn how to extract key-values from filenames, this is a very powerful way to quickly organise your metadata.

1. Manually

2. Through the Description

3. From the filenames

4. From .csv file

Key-Value naming conventions

• No spaces
• No underscores
• Use CamelCase. For example LabBook, not lab book or lab_book.

Mandatory Key-Value pairs

All images collected in the MIF must have the following key-value metadata. Each week all images are checked for these keys and you will be asked to add them.
