title = "Micro-Meta App: an interactive tool for collecting microscopy metadata based on community specifications",
abstract = "For quality, interpretation, reproducibility and sharing value, microscopy images should be accompanied by detailed descriptions of the conditions that were used to produce them. Micro-Meta App is an intuitive, highly interoperable, open-source software tool that was developed in the context of the 4D Nucleome (4DN) consortium and is designed to facilitate the extraction and collection of relevant microscopy metadata as specified by the recent 4DN-BINA-OME tiered-system of Microscopy Metadata specifications. In addition to substantially lowering the burden of quality assurance, the visual nature of Micro-Meta App makes it particularly suited for training purposes.",

note = "Funding Information: We would like to thank L. Lifshitz at the Biomedical Imaging Group of the Program in Molecular Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School for invaluable intellectual input and countless fruitful discussions and for his friendship, advice and steadfast support throughout the development of this project. We acknowledge M. Luban for critically reading and editing the manuscript. This project could never have been carried out without the leadership, insightful discussions, support and friendship of all OME consortium members, with particular reference to J. Swedlow, J. Moore, C. Allan, J.M. Burel and W. Moore. We are massively indebted to the RIKEN community for their fantastic work to bring open science into biology. We would like to particularly acknowledge N. Kobayashi and S. Onami for their friendship and support. We thank all members of Bioimaging North America, German Bioimaging, Euro-Bioimaging (in particular A. Keppler and F. Paina) and QUAREP-LiMi (in particular all members of the Working Group 7—Metadata; https://quarep.org/working-groups/wg-7-metadata/) for invaluable intellectual input, fruitful discussions and advice.
