Abstract:
Life sciences research often lacks tight control and systematic
workflows for data generation, data management, and data
evaluation. This talk presents B-Fabric, a system developed and
running at the Functional Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ), which
provides a core framework and web-based application for integrating
different analytical technologies and data analysis tools. In addition
to data capturing and management, B-Fabric emphasizes the need for
quality-controlled scientific annotation of analytical data, providing
the ground for integrative querying and exploitation of life sciences
data.
Short CV:
Dr. Can Türker heads the Data Integration Group of the Functional
Genomics Center Zurich (FGCZ). Before joining FGCZ, he was a senior
research associate and lecturer ("Oberassistent") in the Database
Group at ETH Zurich. Can Türker holds a diploma and Ph.D. degree in
computer science from the Technical University of Darmstadt
(Sept. 1994), and the University of Magdeburg (Oct. 1999),
respectively. He is co-author of the several lecture books,
among others "Object-Relational Databases" and "SQL:1999 And
SQL:2003". His current research focuses on data and application
integration in the field of life sciences. He is the chief architect
of B-Fabric, an evolving open-source system infrastructure with
applications on top, which is in daily use for managing all data
generated at FGCZ since early 2007.
The meeting takes place at 1400h in BIN 1.D.07. The talk is held in English.
