DESCRIPTION:[BioSamples](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/)is the EMBL-EBI 
 archive which records and supplies metadata about biological samples and c
 onnects sample records across EBI databases to the corresponding experimen
 tal data. BioSamples aims to improve metadata quality through ontology ann
 otation\, metadata curation\, data validation and certification.\n\nIn thi
 s webinar\, we will briefly introduce BioSamples and highlight specific us
 e cases from current collaborations and features deployed to increase FAIR
 ness (Findability\, Accessibility\, Interoperability\, Reusability) of the
  data.\n\nOngoing collaboration with major consortia rely on and drive add
 ition of new features to BioSamples:\n\n- Ability to walk an ontology hier
 archy such as disease for the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4
 GH)\n- Synthetic dataset and linking to human controlled access data for t
 he Common Infrastructure for National Cohorts in Europe\, Canada\, and Afr
 ica (CINECA)\n- Metrics and automated processes for FAIRplus
