*NBIC PhD Course on Managing and Integrating Life Science Information (3rd edition) *Course coordinators: Marco Roos, Katy Wolstencroft _Date:_ 17-21 June 2013 _Location:_ Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands _Website: _http://www.nbic.nl/education/nbic-phd-school/nbic-phd-school-course-portfoli... _Registration:_ http://www.nbic.nl/education/nbic-phd-school/enrolment/ _Contact info: _Celia van Gelder (education@nbic.nl) _ __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.
