Research Data Management 101

File formats: our case study

• My data is in "Sashimi Environmental Scanning Electron

Microscope (ESEM)" format!

– Problem: This is a proprietary format. How can I convert it to a more open-non proprietary format that will be usable in the future?

– Solution: I found Bio-Formats, a standalone Java library for reading and writing life sciences image file formats into alternative open formats.
