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.

_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. This course 
introduces modern techniques
for the management of life science data and knowledge for bioinformatics 
applications.
After following this course students should be able to start creating 
their first applications based
  on these technologies or make more informed design decisions for their 
current application.

In this course you will learn:

1.how the 'Linked Data' principle works and how it can be applied for 
'meaningful' data integration.

2.how to expose your local data with rich metadata for use in other systems.

3.how Web Services and workflows can be used to analyse distributed data.

4.how to make publishable artefacts from your data for which you can get 
scientific credit.
