One of the main goals of the semantic web is to convert this data into formats suitable for computational processing. Within the nanos afety projects that the Department of Bioinformatics at Maastricht Univers ity (BiGCaT) is involved in\, we talk a lot about Semantic Approaches and terms like the Web Ontology Language (OWL)\, Resource Description Framewor k (RDF)\, SPARQL queries and SPARQL endpoints are used regularly by member s of our team. We have given workshops/tutorials/worksessions in the past\ , but always with a focus on the knowledge needed for a specific task we w ere working on. This means that many of our project partners understand pa rt of the picture.\n\n We are therefore organizing a workshop covering the whole range of Semantic Approaches that we use within the nanosafety-proj ects. Starting with more general questions like “what is a triple and wh at is the link with ontologies and RDF?” all the way to writing SPARQL q ueries and exploring their capabilities\, which by the end of the workshop everyone will be able to do and possibly implement in their own work. We will practice using and extending the eNanoMapper ontology and we will loo k at the SPARQL endpoints\, semantic web applications and tools developed and used by BiGCaT within these nanosafety projects.\n\nThe workshop will be spread out over two afternoons on the Thursday December 8th &\; 9th from 13:00 till 17:00 h CET. The afternoons will be filled with a mixture of lectures\, tutorials\, hands-on and Q&\;A sessions.\n\nExpectation: Willing to learn new things and active participation in the interactive we binar.\n\n\nFeel free to join and please do not forget to register here: h ttps://ukri.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMvcO2orzgrGdCjCCUSrDOkxGib4ZvgWOo5\ n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing in formation about joining the workshop.\n\nPlease\, be aware that some perso nal information may be collected for statistical purposes\, however\, in a blinded and anonymous way. The workshop will be partially recorded for ed ucational purposes.\n\nYou will find updates with more information about N anoCommons and training materials here.\n\nFeel free to redistribute this information within your projects and networks. We are happy to have as man y participants as possible and to help the community with the FAIRificatio n of their data by offering insight into fully exploring and linking avail able data resources in a more straightforward way.\n\nThe NanoCommons team will be happy to answer your questions and to guide you in your requests!
