Recommended Metadata for Biological Images (REMBI) is a draft of metadata guidelines within light and electron microscopy proposed by EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and colleagues at over 30 other institutions in different bioimaging communities, including light, electron and X-ray microscopy communities.

REMBI aims to enable wider sharing and reuse of bioimaging data and is planned to be adopted by the BioImage Archive, EMPIAR, Cell-IDR and Tissue-IDR databases.
