Collaboration with ELIXIR
The Tools and Data Services Registry provides essential scientific and technical information about analytical tools and data services for bioinformatics. The registry is provided by a community effort coordinated by the Danish node of ELIXIR - the European infrastructure for biological information. Debian Med already includes packages for many key tools in bioinformatics and we’re working to forge a vibrant collaboration between ELIXIR and Debian Med to ensure:
the package descriptions are annotated to the standard required by the registry and
- establish a permanent mechanism for registration, updates and sharing of the package descriptions
To these ends, ELIXIR-DK would like to support this sprint by sponsoring an “extra day” (Thu - Fri) dedicated to registry work:
- ELIXIR-DK will pay for the meeting room at the hotel on Thursday 4th - Sunday 7th inclusive
- In addition, for anyone arriving on Thursday Feb 4th to help out, ELIXIR-DK will pay for a European flight and a hotel room and evening meal for Thursday night
In practical terms, package registration should be straightforward given a sensible data sharing mechanism, which we can settle at the meeting. The time-consuming part is the annotation, so we’d like to focus on 10 attributes which are mandatory in the ELIXIR registry. This includes terms from the EDAM vocabulary to describe the package “topic” (broad scientific category), “operation” (exactly what a tool does) and “data” (input and output type of data) which can also include “format” (specific data formats): EDAM developers will be on-hand to help with this.
Any questions? For enquiries about venue, hotel etc. please mail Myhanh Nguyen. For technical enquries please mail registry@elixir-dk.org, alternatively mail Jon Ison and Kristoffer Rapacki directly.
