The ELIXIR Interoperability Platform All Hands Face2Face meeting.

The goal of this working meeting is to advance ELIXIR Interoperability Platform (EIP) activities, with a specific focus on the EXCELERATE and CORBEL projects. During the meeting we will work with the platform drivers (Nodes, global initiatives, use cases) to determine requirements for the improvement of existing services, standards and know-how capacity building. The meeting will work towards the development and promotion of interoperability products (standards, tools, services, resources, best practice) e in the areas of (but not limited to) data profiling, metadata content standards, ontologies, identifiers, linked data, API standards and workflows.
