1st ApBioNet Student Council Symposium

The Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Student Council Symposium (APBSCS-2025) is a student-led initiative held in conjunction with the APBioNet INCOB Conference. This vibrant, in-person event is dedicated to students and early-career researchers in bioinformatics and computational biology.

This inaugural event, held alongside the APBioNet-INCOB Conference, is more than just a meeting—it’s a bold step toward empowering early-career scientists, building regional connections, and spotlighting student-led innovation in bioinformatics and computational biology.

Built on the belief that students grow best when they learn from one another and from mentors who understand their journey, APBSCS offers a platform where ideas are exchanged, stories are shared, and collaborations are born.

APBioNETTalks Workshop: Unlock the Power of the Semantic Web with Wikidata!

Free, limited for 100 participants!

📅 Date: October 24, 2024
⏰ Time: 7 am UTC/12.30 noon IST/3 pm SGT
🎓 Speaker: Andra Waagmeester (Micelio BV)

Summary:
The Semantic Web (SW) has revolutionized the way data is linked and shared on the World Wide Web. However, harnessing the full potential of the SW can be challenging, requiring both technical skills and domain expertise. This workshop aims to bridge this gap by introducing Wikidata as a stepping stone to the Semantic Web. Wikidata, an extension of Wikipedia, offers a user-friendly platform that aligns well with the SW principles and can be utilized without extensive computer skills.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of making data suitable for the Semantic Web using Wikidata. The workshop will guide participants through the process of identifying the semantic model, normalizing data into RDF triples, and leveraging Wikidata’s features to enhance data interoperability. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a solid understanding of how to use Wikidata as a learning platform and entry point to the Semantic Web.
