Practical introduction to SPARQL for biologists and informaticians
07 November 2016
For-profit: 0 CHF
No future instance of this course is planned yet
Overview
This workshop will be divided in three parts.
- The first part is an introduction to SPARQL (approx 2 hours).
- The second part will focus on using and creating SPARQL queries on the neXtProt SPARQL engine (www.nextprot.org). This part will explore how to create complex queries making the best use of the wealth of information available in neXtProt as well as taking advantage of federated queries across "remote" resources such as DrugBank, ChEMBL and PDB.
- The third part focuses on the UniProt SPARQL engine (sparql.uniprot.org) introducing the UniProt data model and showing example queries.
Audience
Users interested in learning SPARQL and in developing queries for neXtProt and UniProt
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course you should have gained
- Basic knowledge about RDF, SPARQL and its practical applications;
- A basic understanding ot the neXtProt and UniProt RDF data models and how you can use SPARQL to get answers to complicated questions;
- Some practical experience with the tools and help neXtProt and UniProt provide (example queries, data model browser).
Prerequisites
- Personal laptop with WIFI/internet access is needed
- Java 1.7 or higher installed on your laptop. You can check the Java version by opening a command line tools and typing: java -version. If you don’t have Java installed please follow this link: https://java.com/en/download/help/index_installing.xml
