Introduction to FAIRDOM Data Management : SEEK and openBIS

Version 1

LiSyM (Liver Systems Medicine) represents a research network of German centers and institutions, brought together by a 20 Million Euro funding program of the German Government, in which mathematicians, modelers, pharmacologists, molecular biologists and clinical scientists work together to develop a Systems Medicine approach to study early and advanced liver disease. The aim of this unique research program is to acquire and use new experimental data and data from existing data bases to build ...

FAIRDOM is establishing a support and service network for European Systems Biology. FAIRDOM is a joint action of ERA-Net ERASysAPP and European Research Infrastructure ISBE to establish a data and model management service facility for Systems Biology. Our prime mission is to support researchers, students, trainers, funders and publishers by enabling Systems Biology projects to make their Data, Operating procedures and Models, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR).

FAIRDOM will establish a support and service network for European Systems Biology. We will serve projects in standardising, managing and disseminating data and models in a FAIR manner: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Target audience: Wet-lab scientists and people dealing with experimental and/or clinical data for research

Topics include:

• Best practice data structuring (spreadsheets) for experimental and (clinical) samples data
• Comprehensive and unambiguous data description and annotation
• Standard formats and terminologies for data and metadata
• Guidelines for reporting data (Minimum information standards)
• Annotation tools (e.g. RightField: http://www.rightfield.org.uk)
• Using SEEK & FAIRDOMhub ...
