Parameters/Metadata stored in EMData Objects

The EMData object, and its representation on disk in the BDB local database, XML files, and when serialized in Python using 'pickle', supports the concept of arbitrary header parameters also known as metadata. This metadata are key/value pairs. The keys are always simple ascii text, and the values may be virtually anything represented as an EMObject, including simple ints, floats and strings, as well as more complicated objects such as Transform classes. If an EMData object is stored in some fashion other than the 3 mechanisms above, some loss of metadata is almost guaranteed. The file i/o objects will try to preserve some of the basic metadata, but most of the cryoEM formats simply don't support arbitrary header-data. The EMAN2 convention is to use BDB for most internal purposes, and to use HDF5 for data transfer/exchange.

This page will serve as a repository for the officially supported parameter key/value pairs. While you are free to set any metadata keys/values you like in an EMData object, the names listed here may be interpreted in specific ways by specific modules within EMAN, so it would be unwise to abuse them. Also, if you make up your own name for some purpose, it wouldn't hurt to register it here in the 'unofficial' section, to avoid it being used by someone else for a different purpose.

Proposed new Official tags (comments welcome):

apix_scan

box_location

int_array

4 values, x0, y0, xsize, ysize representing the location of the particle in the original (box_source) image

(Pawel suggested this be changed to the reduced image, because normally we first reduce the micrograph, the window it.) (No, the box location should be in the coordinates of the referenced 'parent' image. If you want to reference a reduced image you can, but I think it makes a lot more sense to provide the capability of refining the coordinates from the reduced image when you return to the original image.) Pawel: the coordinates in boxer refer to the image from windowing was done. This is is (or can be) a reduced micrograph. There is more confusion here: name apix_scan suggests this is pixel size of the scan, NOT THE REDUCED MICROGRAPH FROM WHICH PARTICLES WERE WINDOWED. Incidentally, both pixel sizes are needed and have to be in the header. Steve: This differs from the philosophy of e2boxer, which is that you always provide e2boxer with the original image, it may internally downscale it for boxing, but the final box positions are in terms of the original image. I don't understand why you would want to externally downscale, then have to rescale the coordinates again later ? This is very messy. Anyway, any single image has a particluar A/pix value associated with it. I have no objections to something like apix_original, but what exactly is the point ? You aren't likely to rescale reduced images back to their original size...
