Semantic Web in Biomedicine Seminar

MEBI 591B
Tuesdays, 11:00 - 11:50 a.m.
Health Sciences, I-132

The Semantic Web in Biomedicine Seminar will be organized as a journal club focused on semantic technology used in bioinformatics, medical and public health informatics.  The journal club will be a discussion of articles using these technical methods as they apply across the disciplines.  Each session will be led by one of the attendees in a discussion that will summarize the findings and critique the research.  The goal is to get to know some of the many exciting examples of semantic web applications within biomedical and health literature.  If you have questions or ideas for specific topics, please e-mail Michal Galdzicki: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
