Post-publication sharing of raw data

The OMERO.web framework allows raw data to be published to external web pages.
Selected datasets can be made visible to a ‘public user’ using the standard OMERO permissions system, ensuring you always have control over how users can interact with your data.

To begin with

You need to be made a member of a public group on the EPFL OMERO server before you can start sharing data.

Public group creation

Please contact Claire Stoffel if you want to create a public group dedicated to your lab/unit.

Add data to a public group

You can either move data from an existing group into a public group, or import data directly into a public group

Move data from a private to a public group

To move data into the PUBLIC group, select the project, dataset or images in the left
hand pane (from the OMERO.insight client or from OMERO.web)
Right-click and select Move to Group ... in the menu, and choose the public group you belong to.

Add new data to a public group

To import data directly into a public group, go to File > Import... in the OMERO.insight client. In the Import Location window, choose the public group you belong to in the Group drop-down menu.

You always remain the owner of any of your images in a public group, and can still change rendering settings, add ROIs or annotate them.

Share links to your published data

You can create direct URLs to any element from a public group: To do so, select the chosen element (image, dataset,...) and hit the create link button in the right panel from OMERO.web. Paste this link and share it to people inside or outside EPFL, and they will be able to view your data without the need to enter credentials.
