Abstract

In our series on The Yosemite Project, we explore RDF as a data standard for health data. In this presentation, our speaker Dr. Michel Dumontier will explore the use of Semantic Web technologies to reduce the overwhelming burden of integrating clinical data with public biomedical data, and enabling a new generation of translational research and their clinical application.
