BioSamples: a FAIR sample metadata archive
BioSamples is the EMBL-EBI archive which records and supplies metadata about biological samples and connects sample records across EBI databases to the corresponding experimental data. BioSamples aims to improve metadata quality through ontology annotation, metadata curation, data validation and certification.
This webinar briefly introduces BioSamples and highlights specific use cases from current collaborations and features deployed to increase FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) of the data.
