We organize an Online Hackathon in March to improve the annotation of Galaxy resources for microbial data analysis and beyond:

https://galaxyproject.org/events/2024-03-11-hackathon-galaxy-resources-annotation/

Objectives

The objective of this hackathon is to improve the annotation of the Galaxy resources (tools, training, workflows) for microbial data analysis by:

• Linking microbial Galaxy tools to bio.tools to obtain EDAM ontology annotation

• Improving bio.tools annotations

• Annotating existing microbial-related tutorials with EDAM terms

• Reflecting on the addition of EDAM terms to workflows

• Reflecting on missing terms in the EDAM ontology for microbial data analyses

• Brainstorming about a way to connect tool annotations to improve training and workflow annotations

All this work will be beneficial to structure the tools, workflows, and training we have to display them on the microGalaxy landing page, structure the Galaxy tool panel, and create figures and tables for the technical paper we are working on.
