Do you have a task in biomedical or clinical informatics that will benefit from the use of ontologies or ontology-based technology? Want to brainstorm application design and development questions? Want help incorporating the NCBO Web services into your application?
 
Join us for the first-ever NCBO Hackathon. This event will include two days of intensive hands-on sessions to facilitate the development of applications using NCBO Web services. We will devote extensive time to your software development project and will have presentations covering a range of topics from application design to coding. You will:
Learn to use the suite of NCBO Web services and how others have used these services to build applications. Web services covered include ontology access, search, mappings, term proposals, text annotation, and ontology-based search and mining of biomedical resources
Brainstorm ideas for applications
Discuss application problems and solutions with users from other projects
Hear about the design of our RDF triple store and learn how to access the triple-store directly from your application using the SPARQL query language
 
HOW DO I REGISTER?

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING? 
Just bring your laptop. We will provide food.

HOW DO I GET THERE?
