IOFormat 1.12.0
|
Some image formats can contain custom metadata, specific to MSD products. They're generally called Fei Metadata. Its structure is versioned and can be only updated following a well-defined process. Here you can find information on this process and on the metadata structure.
As Fei Metadata are stored in XML format which is then embedded as string value in metadata of concerned formats (TIFF, PNG so far), accessing each field of the metadata can be laborious. Moreover, an XML file does not give information about the type of the field to read. An additional file (XSD) which describes the structure of the XML can provide the keys to correctly parse and decode the XML file, but it remains painful.
IOLink provides in its interfaces the possibility to expose metadata as a node tree, where each node is identified by a key (string) and associated to a variant value.
IOFormat is now able to expose Fei Metadata XML content as an IOLink tree so as to simplify and uniformize the access.
But the mapping between the XML structure and the key-value node tree cannot be direct and needs many adaptations. XML also contains some custom sections which are not described in any specification, and are only present for private use. These sections won't be exposed in the tree.
The conversion tool follows the given rule which says the parsing shall not be strict. If a field from the XML does not stricly follow the XSD specification file, the parsing does not fail and the concerned field is simply ignored.
Regarding types, this table indicates how simple types are mapped between XML and the tree:
| XSD type | Variant type | comment |
|---|---|---|
| xs:double | DataTypeId::DOUBLE | |
| xs:string | DataTypeId::UTF8_STRING | |
| xs:int | DataTypeId::INT64 | |
| xs:unsignedInt | DataTypeId::UINT64 | |
| xs:boolean | DataTypeId::UINT64 | 0: false, 1: true |
| xs:dateTime | DataTypeId::UTF8_STRING | |
| xs:hexBinary | DataTypeId::UTF8_STRING |
Complex types are generally mapped as a common root node (identified with the name of the element) and children for all the internal fields. Regarding XML attributes, there is no rule, and you have to see in the appropriate below section how the information is exposed. Some types are restriction of simple types (e.g.: a limitation of possible values), and are not checked by the parser.
We're gonna describe in the following sections the locations where data can be reached in the tree, and how it can be easily accessed.
Remark: when in following chapters there is a table which lists all elements of a section, some elements may also contain other elements (children). For simple cases, the possible children are given in the comment column. You have to add the name of this field to the given location to access it.
e.g.
| field name | location in the tree | comment |
|---|---|---|
| GunShiftRaw | Metadata/Optics/GunShiftRaw | children: X, Y |
So as to access GunShiftRaw.X data, you have to use location Metadata/Optics/GunShiftRaw/X.
Core section node is accessible at following path: Metadata/Core.
Any element of this section is directly mapped as an ordinary complex type, which means you can access each element as a child of the section root node.
Here are the possible fields:
| field name | location in the tree |
|---|---|
| Guid | Metadata/Core/Guid |
| ParentGuid | Metadata/Core/ParentGuid |
| Md5Checksum | Metadata/Core/Md5Checksum |
| PrivateChecksum | Metadata/Core/PrivateChecksum |
| FileName | Metadata/Core/FileName |

| node | location |
|---|---|
LotID | Metadata/Label/LotID |
