loci.formats.meta.MetadataConverter

Deprecated.

Use ome.xml.meta.MetadataConverter.

@Deprecated
public final class MetadataConverter
extends Object

A utility class containing a method for piping a source MetadataRetrieve object into a destination MetadataStore.

This technique allows conversion between two different storage media. For example, it can be used to convert an OMEROMetadataStore (OMERO's metadata store implementation) into an OMEXMLMetadata, thus generating OME-XML from information in an OMERO database.
