We are pleased to announce a course from SIB / Staromics doctoral
program entitled:

<br>
"Using the semantic web for faster (Bio-)research".
<br>
<br>
This three-day course, which will be held in Geneva during the week
of 12-14 October 2015 will teach participants on how to use semantic
web technologies for their own research. It includes an in-depth
exploration of Semantic Web concepts such as RDF (data modelling),
SPARQL (asking questions on your data), OWL (reasoning for deducing
new facts about your data.
<br>
<br>
The course will teach you how to use these technologies in your day
to day research, as well as how you can share your data with the
rest of the world.
<br>
<br>
Objectives:

<br>
At the end of the presentations and practical sessions, participants
are expected to:
<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Learn to work effectively with your own and other groups data
using standardized technologies</li>
<li>Understand when SPARQL and RDF are useful tools for your work </li>
