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.
_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. 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:
1.how the 'Linked Data' principle works and how it can be applied for
'meaningful' data integration.
2.how to expose your local data with rich metadata for use in other systems.
3.how Web Services and workflows can be used to analyse distributed data.
4.how to make publishable artefacts from your data for which you can get
scientific credit.
