Hacking Biological Open Data
- Who:
- Toni Hermoso (Scientific Webmaker, Mozillian);
- Alina Mierlus (Mozillian, session design);
- Topic: Hacking Biological Open Data
What it is?
Nowadays there is an increasing interest in Open Data from administrations but it's a long time relevant biological data is actually being published to the public domain.
During this hands-on session we would like to show existing public available biological resources and explore how anyone, not necessarily from an academical background, can use and remix them in their own projects.
The session aims to be a design/hack jam session that, from existing bibliographic, taxonomy and genomic projects data, enables anyone to make tools that can potentially address biologically (or even personal) relevant questions.
- Time: Friday, Aug. 24 from 14:30 - 16:30 on workshops area (tbd).
Planning
