</font></small><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Did you
ever suspect that the data that you need is somewhere but
neither discoverable nor accessible? <br>
Have you ever produced valuable
data that nobody can use anymore, including yourself? <br>
Have you ever
wondered how to create a federation of distributed data sources? <br>
If you
do not want your data to end up in a data graveyard, and for many other
information management issues, we have organised a course for you.<br>
<br>
In this course we will teach you methods to make data shareable and
self-describing. <br>
You will learn how:</font></small>

<li style="margin-left: 15px;">the 'Linked Data' principle works and
how it can be applied for 'meaningful' data integration<br>
</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">to expose your local data (including
relational databases) for use in other systems.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Web Services can be used to analyse
data from anywhere.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">text mining can be applied to link
resources such as biobanks.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">human knowledge can be made computable
and associated with data.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">to make your data publishable
artifacts for which you can get scientific credit.</li>
