This workshop will give an introduction to the basic concepts of ontologies and how they are useful in biological applications. The workshop will have three sections:
* A brief, practical introduction to ontologies and semantics
* Focus on Gene Ontology (GO), annotations made using GO and tools leveraging those annotations for biomedical discovery.
* A practical exercise in annotating data with ontologies using EBI tools. A standard annotation exercise will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring examples of their own data for annotation, preferably in spreadsheet form.

Also note: This event is part of a series of short introductions focusing on EMBL-EBI resources. If you want to learn more about these separate training events, see the Related Courses section below.
