There’s a new marine sample dataset on the BioImage Archive, thanks to Tina Wiegand and her colleagues, part of EMBL’s TREC project. But as Tina explains in the video below, uploading data to the public repository was challenging, due to a diversity of file formats, inconsistent metadata, and more.
Working with EuBI-Bridge, a tool developed by Euro-BioImaging, really helped her with the parallelized conversion of the image collections to OME-Zarr and facilitated the FAIR sharing process. In this short video, Tina explains why EuBI-Bridge was helpful and gives a sneak peek at her new dataset. Check it out!
