Description
The Semantic Web in Biomedicine Seminar will be organized as a journal club focused on semantic technology use in bioinformatics, medical and public health informatics. The journal club will focus on current research articles chosen by the students from diverse publication sources. Each session will be led by one of the attendees in a discussions 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 me.
