Connecting the World's Medical Research with the Biomedical Data Translator

With the explosion in biomedical data, the current scarcity is not in information, but in time and expertise to connect and analyze it. It would take somewhere on the order of half a million manhours to read just the abstracts of every journal article published in PubMed, and nearly a year of 24/7 reading to keep up with the 500,000 added each year.

The Biomedical Data Translator is an effort to integrate multiple types of existing data from disparate sources to derive knowledge from data, and knowledge graphs play a key part in this effort. Learn from the Biomedical Data Translator team lead, Mark Williams, about the importance and difficulty of entity resolution, data standards, and integrating data across a wide range of domains.

Feel free to share this meetup with anyone who might be interested in learning more about knowledge graphs or who would like to learn about connecting disparate government data.

Agenda:
6:00 - 7:00 PM - Networking & Snacks
7:00 - 8:00 PM - Presentation by Mark Williams
