OMERO.blitz =========== The OMERO.blitz server is responsible for providing secure access to data and metadata via user sessions (:doc:`/developers/Server/Sessions`), and cleaning up all resources when they are no longer being used. Various server capabilities are accessed via a multitude of services collectively known as the |OmeroApi|. Metadata ~~~~~~~~ Metadata stored in an object-relational database is mapped into the OMERO :doc:`/developers/Model` via Hibernate_. Hibernate Query Language (HQL) calls can be made against the server and have all ownership information automatically taken into account. Image data ~~~~~~~~~~ The binary image data can either be accessed in its raw form via the RawPixelsStore service, or can be rendered by the :doc:`server-rendering` service.
