NIF Webinar – April 12, 2011 / Topic: DISCO Service

The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) hosts Webinar series on topics focused on collaborating with NIF, getting involved in building the NIF vocabulary, using NIF portal resources, as well as other appropriate NIF topics.

Hello everyone,

The next NIF Webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at 11:00 am PDT. Please join Jonathan Cachat & Luis Marenco as we talk about the DISCO service. DISCO is an information integration approach designed to facilitate interoperation among Internet resources. It consists of a set of tools and services (e.g. sitemaps, LinkOut Broker) that allows resource providers who maintain information to share it with automated systems such as NIF. NIF is then able to “harvest” the information and keep that information up-to-date.

NIF has recently implemented DISCO to facilitate interoperability between resourcesand the NIF system. Join us as we introduce these DISCO services, overview the DISCO dashboard and discuss proper configuration of DISCO files. Once established, NIF will then be able to harvest resource data ensuring that the most up-to-date information is available to our community.
