</span><span style="font-weight: 700; text-decoration: underline;">new tutorial
series</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in October 2021 to provide hands-on experience accessing and using newly developed bioinformatics tools
while ensuring best practices for rigour and reproducibility. The next tutorial is under the title
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 700;">Spinning
a semantic web of protein information</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">”, which will be held on the 18th of
March at 11:00 am UTC </span><span><u>(This Friday).</u></span></p></b><b>

<b>Short description of the Tutorial:</b></div>

<b><br>
</b></div>
<div>
<div><span>Life
science is the most demanding research field in terms of data quantity
and complexity, with many relevant reference databases. To generate
knowledge, heterogeneous data from
various sources must often be combined. Semantic Web technologies, and
in particular RDF and its companion query language SPARQL, provide a
common framework allowing data to be shared and reused between
resources. Many life science databases have recently
turned to RDF to model their data, developed SPARQL endpoints and
joined the Linked (Open) Data cloud.</span><span> This tutorial will introduce neXtProt (<a href="http://www.nextprot.org/">www.nextprot.org/</a>),
one of the
major public knowledge bases on human proteins, its comprehensive RDF
data model, and its large collection of reusable example queries,
including federated queries to other resources.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">At the end of the tutorial, the participants are expected to:</span></p>
</b></div>
<div>
<div><span>• Describe the neXtProt data model</span></div>
<div><span>• Run example queries that answer biological questions</span></div>
<div><span>• Search for data by modifying existing SPARQL queries</span></div>
<div><span>• Understand how federated queries are constructed</span></div>
