Building a sustainable European infrastructure for biological information, supporting life science research and its translation to medicine, agriculture, bioindustries and society.
ELIXIR unites Europe’s leading life science organisations in managing and safeguarding the massive amounts of data being generated every day by publicly funded research. It is a pan-European research infrastructure for biological information.
ELIXIR provides the facilities necessary for life science researchers - from bench biologists to cheminformaticians - to make the most of our rapidly growing store of information about living systems, which is the foundation on which our understanding of life is built.

Wikidata is an open, Semantic Web-compatible database that anyone, humans and machines alike, can edit. This ‘data commons’ provides structured data for Wikipedia articles and other applications. The Gene wiki project is using Wikidata to provide the life science community a central hub to structured, public and linked biomedical knowledge.

The webinar will address how this is done and how this integrates with related projects covering research citation or general data. It will also present the Wikibase which is the underlying infrastructure upon which Wikidata runs. Wikibase is available as open software, allowing its use outside Wikidata.
