DAS is an important system for exchanging and viewing of biological data, with more than 600 DAS sources available world wide. Several different projects are working on applications and resources to provide DAS support. The purpose of this meeting is to improve communication between these projects and let interested people learn what they can do with DAS and how to do it.

This workshop has been organised with support from ENFIN:

Course Overview

Is it right for me?

This workshop aims to cater to a number of differing backgrounds so all days on the workshop are optional. To make the most of having many DAS experts in one place there is an extra day this year for break off groups to push forward with their DAS projects. People new to DAS will likely want to attend the first day, conversely experts may decide only to attend the 2nd and 3rd day.

What will I learn?

  • what you can do with DAS
  • how to talk to a DAS server
  • how to set up your own servers

What will it cover?

  • The first day is a practical day where you can learn how to work with DAS.
    • What DAS commands look like
    • How to request via Perl / Java
    • How to set up a DAS server
    • How to get a list from available servers from the DAS registry
  • The second day is the first of the DAS client developers days where developers present their DAS related applications, websites and discuss new ideas. Each participating group is invited to give a 15 min presentation. There is time for a short discussion after each talk. Please contact Jonathan Warren if you want to give a presentation on this day.
    • Present the progress over the last year
    • Find synergies
    • See if/how interoperability can be improved
    • Discuss possible future extensions to DAS
  • The final day will work on pushing forward with specific projects/aspects of DAS. Please suggest subjects when you register by sending an email to Jonathan Warren
