The schemas (or DTDs) needed for validation can be specified as can provide the schema to the parser.If you don't specify any sources for the schema(s) then the parser or validator will try to resolve the URIs and "SYSTEM ID"s specified inside the document itself in order to find the schema document(s).Additionally, it supports using the XML Path Language (XPath) to find and extract information. The remainder of this section will loosely use the term "schema" for "the document holding the schema or DTD definition".Thus, we have also written some Java code to do the same thing; just download the Bio-Formats command line tools and run: We have created a command line tool in Java for validating OME-XML, and included it as part of the Bio-Formats download.Please refer to the Bio-Formats command line tools documentation for more details but, in brief, you download and unzip the tools to produce a collection of command line scripts for Unix/Mac and batch files for Windows.

Note that accessing the data structure produced by XMLin is less than straight-forward for all but the hairiest Perl programmers.// Each start tag is pushed on a stack which is not popped until // the matching ending element is encountered.The "characters" // method then peeks at the stack to decide where to put contents.If you are looking for a solution in Java, there are several options.Bio-Formats can read OME-TIFF files, as well as convert from many third-party formats into OME-TIFF format—see the If the XML was stored without line breaks, it can still be difficult to read after being extracted.
