Biomax - Knowledge Management and Data Integration in Plant Research

Efficient data integration, exploration and interpretation are indispensable to research in the plant and animal sciences. This workshop will address the major challenges and current computational solutions that scientists are using to extract knowledge from diverse data resources. We will examine how to best integrate diverse content, including public and private databases, ontologies, methods and analytical tools, into centralized repositories that represent an organization's collective knowledge. The goal of the workshop is to foster open discussion of how the abundance of data, information and tools, are being utilized and translated into knowledge and opportunity in an organized and systematic way. Renowned presenters from industry, academic and research institutions will share their experiences and insight.
