\n\"A growing community is constructing a next-generation file format (NGFF) for bioimaging to overcome problems of scalability and heterogeneity. Organized by the Open Microscopy Environment (OME), individuals and institutes across diverse modalities facing these problems have designed a format specification process (OME-NGFF) to address these needs. \"
\n\"Over the last few years, a new data format, Zarr, has been developed for the storage of large N-dimensional typed arrays in the cloud. The Zarr format is now heavily adopted across many scientific communities from genomics to astrophysics . Zarr stores associated metadata in JSON and binary data in individually referenceable “chunk”-files, providing a flexible, scalable method for storing multidimensional data. In 2021, OME published the first specification and example uses of a “next-generation file format” (NGFF) in bioimaging using the Zarr format. The first versions of this format, OME-Zarr, focused on developing functionality that tests and demonstrates the utility of the format in bioimaging domains that routinely generate large, metadata-rich datasets—high content screening, digital pathology, electron microscopy, and light sheet imaging.\"
\nLibraries
\n\"Behind most of the visualization tools above and many other applications are OME-Zarr capable libraries that can be used in a wide variety of situations. Workflow systems like Nextflow or Snakemake can use them to read or write OME-Zarr data, and the same is true of machine learning pipelines like Tensorflow and PyTorch. Where dedicated widgets like ITKWidgets are not available, these libraries can make use of existing software stacks like Dask and NumPy to visualize the data in Jupyter Notebooks or to perform parallel analysis.\"

Python
\n\"ome-zarr-py, available on PyPI, was the first implementation of OME-Zarr and is at the time of writing considered the reference implementation of the OME-NGFF data model. Reading, writing, and validation of all specifications are supported, without attempting to provide complete high-level functionality for analysis. Instead, several libraries have been built on top of ome-zarr-py. AICSImageIO is a popular Python library for general 5D bio data loading. In addition to loading OME-Zarr data, AICSImageIO provides OmeZarrWriter using ome-zarr-py under the hood. In this way, format conversion is possible by loading data with AICSImageIO and immediately passing the Dask array to OmeZarrWriter, though improvements in the metadata support are needed.\"
