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.
