__Description_
The amount of Life Science data available in the public domain is a vast 
and
growing resource for bioinformatics research. There are over 20 million 
papers in
PubMed and over 1600 biological databases. In many cases finding and 
applying the
information from these resources is far from trivial. Following this 
course will show
you new techniques for working with these distributed resources, 
including using
the Semantic Web, Linked data and scientific workflows. It will also 
focus on
methods for using or linking your own data into this large distributed 
web of
resources.

__Lecturers:_
  Paul Groth (VU), Frank van Harmelen (VU), Marco Roos (LUMC), Egon
Willighagen (UM), Katy Wolstencroft (VU, University of Manchester)

__Target audience_
This course is for bioinformaticians who would like to learn about 
leading-edge
data and knowledge integration solutions. You will learn (1) powerful 
and flexible
approaches to data and information management for your bioinformatics
application (Semantic web and Linked Data), (2) how to work with data 
across
remote locations, for instance by applying Web Services and workflows, 
(3) how to
publish your own data to get the most credit and make it available and 
reusable for
the rest of the community.
