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 about:
- Linked Data and the Semantic Web technologies that underpin it
- How you can use Linked Data for data and knowledge integration in the Life Sciences
- Available Linked Data resources in the public domain and large-scale projects that use these resources
- How you can integrate your own data with Linked Data resources
- How you can combine data integration and analysis over distributed resources, using Web Services and workflows
Confirmed lecturers: Frank van Harmelen (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Andre Dekker (Maastricht University)
