Introduction to openBIS
Date: 27 June 2023 @ 09:00 - 17:00
Duration: PT7H
Overview
This course provides a general overview of openBIS, followed by a practical training session.
openBIS is a combined data management platform, Electronic Laboratory Notebook, and Inventory Management System. openBIS helps scientists meet requirements from funding agencies, journals, and academic institutions to publish data according to the FAIR data principles. Scientists can use openBIS to document their daily experimental or computational work, store any related experimental raw and derived data, and link everything to materials, samples and protocols stored in the lab inventory. The system ensures safe data storage and provenance tracking.
openBIS is open-source software distributed under the Apache v2.0 licence, developed by ETH Zurich Scientific IT Services (ETH SIS). ETH SIS provides openBIS to academic research groups in CH as part of its openRDM.swiss service.
Audience
This course is intended for life scientists and bioinformaticians, such as PhD students, post-docs and staff scientists.
Learning objectives
At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
* use the openBIS inventory of material and samples
* use the openBIS inventory of laboratory protocols
* document projects and experiments in the openBIS lab notebook and upload data
* analyse data stored in openBIS with Jupyter or MATLAB
