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

Paul Groth (VU), Frank van Harmelen (VU), Marco Roos (LUMC),
Egon <br>
Willighagen (UM), Katy Wolstencroft (VU, University of
Manchester)<br>
.<u><br>
</u><u>Target audience</u><br>
This course is for bioinformaticians who would like to learn
about leading-edge <br>
data and knowledge integration solutions. You will learn (1)
powerful and flexible <br>
approaches to data and information management for your
bioinformatics <br>
application (Semantic web and Linked Data), (2) how to work
with data across <br>
remote locations, for instance by applying Web Services and
workflows, (3) how to <br>
publish your own data to get the most credit and make it
available and reusable for <br>
the rest of the community. <br>
