Description

At various locations in the current specification, a path is stored to another group or array within the same fileset:

  • The datasets of multiscales link to the individual arrays comprising the pyramid.
  • Labels link individual labeled images.
  • Plates link to the wells that are contained.

So far, these paths are constrained to being relative to the same fileset and in some cases even to being within the same group. A generic mechanism for linking between filesets should be developed which can then be used across other NGFF specifications.

Research direction

Review the current specification sections for multiscales, labels, and plates, focusing on how paths are constrained to the same fileset. Define the requirements for a generic cross-fileset linking mechanism and assess how it can be used across those specifications. Done means the mechanism and its use across the affected NGFF specifications are clearly specified.
