The following specification defines the hierarchy for a high-content screening dataset. Three groups MUST be defined above the images:
the group above the images defines the well and MUST implement the well specification. All images contained in a well are fields of view of the same well
the group above the well defines a row of wells
the group above the well row defines an entire plate i.e. a two-dimensional collection of wells organized in rows and columns. It MUST implement the plate specification
A well row group SHOULD NOT be present if there are no images in the well row. A well group SHOULD NOT be present if there are no images in the well.
