Hi all,

For those who haven't heard, the below symposium in Cambridge may be of interest to those working in data integration. Quite a few of us from the Hinxton campus working on DAS will be around. Early registration deadline is 20th Feb.

Cheers,
Andy

> In this tutorial, we provide hands-on experience of a software system called 
> Ondex (www.ondex.org) that is being used in a range of different systems biology 
> projects in the UK. Ondex is an open source data integration platform for the 
> life sciences that enables data from diverse biological data sets to be integrated, 
> visualised as biological networks and interpreted using graph analysis techniques. 
> 
> Ondex has a friendly user-interface that can be used to prepare integrated 
> datasets for data mining and has the ability to bring together information from 
> structured databases and unstructured sources, such as free text. 
> 
> For more information please see programme at

> EMERALD - Enhancing Data Quality 
> 22nd March 2010 10:00 - 12:00 
> 
> The focus of the workshop is to discuss and illustrate the importance of microarray 
> data quality and will sum up the work done by the EU EMERALD project over a three year 
> period. Presentations will highlight efforts on the implementation of quality metrics 
> and standards to and how experience from this project can be applied to new high 
> throughput array technologies. This workshop is freely open to all IB2010 registrants. 
> But, those not registered for the IB2010 conference that only wish to participate at the 
> EMERALD session, please register (for free) by sending an email to vidar.beisvag at ntnu.no 
> at the latest by 11th march 2010.
