-DBCLS is working on the integration of biological resources. To achieve this goal, we have been organizing !BioHackathons to survey existing efforts and to develop integrated environments with open source software and public services. Themes of the hackathons evolved year by year and we are continuously providing opportunities to gather cutting edge developers and researchers for adopting state of the art technologies to emerging demands in life science.

  * 2010 : Interpretation of biological knowledge with Semantic Web technologies
 
-Facing to unprecedented amount and variety of biomedical data, it is required to consolidate related information and facilitating efficient interpretation of the accumulated biological knowledge. Therefore, we selected Semantic Web as a main theme for this year. Topics may include:

 == About the Hackathon == 
 
-The hackathon (hacking + marathon) basically is a camp where invited participants discuss about current issues and implement software to solve the problems on site collaboratively. This kind of meeting is very effective for the intensive development of projects, because face-to-face meeting of developers, who are usually spread around the world, accelerates communication and collaboration to exchange their ideas.
