[Training4lifescience] [July 6th] Transforming Prokaryotic Taxonomy with TAXA-KG

Dear experts and beginners in taxonomy and knowledge graphs, we are really excited to see what the collaboration between two of our NFDI4Microbiota Use Cases has brought to fruition. Join us to enable microbial description at large scale! During this hands-on workshop, our speakers will introduce the background of identifying, culturing and describing novel information of prokaryotic taxa, with a focus on making taxonomic descriptions accessible for further large-scale downstream analysis. This beginner-friendly workshop will guide you through the basic concepts of taxonomic descriptions and transforming data for knowledge graph applications. During the subsequent demonstration, you will be able to apply the knowledge with some hands-on examples. After this workshop, we will have learned and transformed the way we describe novel microbial taxa. Meeting details Date Monday, July 6th 2026 Time 14:00 - 16:00 CEST (Berlin time) 20:00 - 22:00 HKT (Hong Kong time) 08:00 - 10:00 EDT (New York time) Location online.
