Today, NIF's satellite event will include a workshop focused on two main topics.
\t- Introduction to data/resource sharing and discovery: This session will focus on resources available for helping you share data, data centric tools for collaborating with other researchers, and resources within the Neuroscience Information Framework for discovering and making resources known.
\t- Introduction to semantic frameworks (e.g. ontologies) being developed for the neuroscience community: This session will focus on
a) ontology/terminology resources such as NeuroLex, which provides a comprehensive collection of common neuroscience domain terminologies and b) spatial frameworks such as digital atlases.
Participants will also be introduced to community building tools such as Wikis. Presenters will introduce the wiki environment (i.e. MediaWiki) used by NeuroLex and Wikipedia.
* Participants are advised to bring a laptop in order to follow the workshop session.It will be held at the Chicago Hilton Lake Erie Room (8th floor) from 1:00 - 6:00 p.m. See you there!
