DESCRIPTION:The [BioSamples database](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/) at
  EMBL-EBI is the ELIXIR deposition database and EMBL-EBI's central institu
 tional repository for information about biological samples (metadata). Bio
 Samples can be used to search\, submit and curate sample metadata across m
 ultiple projects and contexts. BioSamples records are the key point of con
 nection between EMBL-EBI archives (e.g ENA\, ArrayExpress) and other resou
 rces.\n\nThis webinar will highlight how BioSamples can be used to enable 
 multi-omic data sharing and integration including how to submit to the dat
 abase in combination with other major public repositories. We will look at
  how BioSamples supports Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable and Reusabl
 e (FAIR) principles for sample metadata management\, and examine case stud
 ies where this has been beneficial\, for example for integrating data to s
 upport the COVID-19 pandemic response.\n\n**Speaker:** Tony Burdett\, Tech
 nical Team Leader - Archival Infrastructure and Technology\, EMBL-EBI\n\n*

 s and bioinformaticians who search\, submit and/or curate samples across m
 ultiple projects and contexts. It’s particularly relevant to anyone inte
 rested in linking datasets to support the FAIR principles. \n\n**How to jo
