DESCRIPTION:This ELIXIR Webinar will be given by Martin Golebiewski\, a gue
 st speaker from The Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies.\n\nRegis
 ter\n\nGiven the increasing flood and complexity of data in life sciences\
 , standardization of these data and their documentation are crucial. This 
 comprises the description of methods\, biological material and workflows f
 or data processing\, analysis\, exchange and integration (e.g. into comput
 ational models)\, as well as the setup\, handling and simulation of models
 . Hence\, standards for formatting and describing data\, workflows and com
 puter models have become important\, especially for data integration acros
 s the biological scales for multiscale approaches.\n\nTo this end many gra
 ssroots standards for data\, models and their metadata have been defined b
 y the scientific communities and are driven by standardization initiatives
  such as COMBINE (http://co.mbine.org) and others. For providing the poten
 tial users with an overview and comparable information about such standard
 s web-based information resources have been developed and are publicly ava
 ilable\, such as the NormSys registry for modelling standards (http://norm
 sys.h-its.org).\n\nFor facilitating the integration of data and models\, s
 tandards have to be harmonized to become interoperable and allow interfaci
 ng between the often heterogenous datasets. To support this\, novel standa
 rds are defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO
 ) in its technical committee ISO/TC 276 – Biotechnology (https://www.iso
 .org/committee/4514241.html). One example is the emerging standard ISO 206
 91 “Requirements for data formatting and description in the life science
 s for downstream data processing and integration workflows” that defines
  a framework and guideline for community data standards in the life scienc
 es and their application. Such standards aim at enhancing the interoperabi
 lity of standards for life science data and models and therefore facilitat
 e complex and multiscale data integration and model building with heteroge
 nous data gathered across the domains.
