Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Planned Impact
For Academic Impact please see 'Academic Beneficiaries'.
Industrial Impact.
Industry has a critical requirement for data sources, data integration, visualization and analysis tools, and for training related to these, across the broad spectrum of data types relevant to life sciences. The ELIXIR WP3 industry report refers to: protein and nucleotide sequencing; genomic information; genetic variation; small molecules; proteomics; transcriptomics; macromolecular structures; scientific literature analysis; ontologies or controlled vocabularies; and pathway and interaction information. In the pharmaceutical, consumer goods, consumer markets and agri-food sectors small molecule data, protein sequence and structure, as well as pathways are of critical importance. Genomic data, genomic variation, and links to phenotypes are important in plant and animal breeding. Food security can only be supported by scientifically driven research and by making the fruits of this research available to academic, governmental and industrial scientists. Scientists in large companies, medium and small size organizations can be overwhelmed by the complexity and volume of data. Repetition of in house custom solutions is not cost effective so a new landscape of pre-competitive collaborations is emerging. Training in understanding ranges of data types, interactions and agile integration are pre-requisites for efficient industrial research. Tools such as semantic web data integration techniques, controlled vocabulary / ontology definition and metadata capture are key for modern data driven biological research but adoption of these techniques in industry will require education and training. ELIXIR-UK will engage with industry in a number of ways:
- through industry organisations such as EFPIA, Pistoia (Pharma), and BioNOW (BioTech SMEs), systematically developing those links to inform its training content and training methods;
- awareness raising in industry of ELIXIR tools and resources, and providing training in them;
- packaging platform distributions such as BioLinux in other informatics sectors, such as cheminformatics;
- using industry for provisioning training and hosting training events;
- brokering access to high-end training needs in ICT literacy (e.g. HPC).

| Description | This project has set up The organisation of training through ten cooperating Training Sectors where UK skills are strong. Initial Training the Trainers (TTT) events have been delivered andorkshop that performs a training gap analysis for the sector,. We have heard workshops that exchange ideas and best practice among sectors. We had incorporated training and activities activities into the TESS platform We have set up management and monitoring of outcomes of the training activities through support posts. This grant has led to the formation of the UK coordination office at EI and further expansion of Elixir UK to incorporate data resources. |

In particular, search engines index markup from webpages to populate their registries, e.g. Google Dataset Search. Use of Bioschemas to make resources more discoverable has been endorsed by the European Research Council in their Open Research Data and Data Management Plans policy ('metadata' section, page 11). Including Bioschemas markup in a resource's metadata means that you meet some of the Findability criteria of the FAIR Data Principles. Bioscheams is a flagship policy of ELIXIR (the European life-sciences Infrastructure for biological Information), and a key component of their 2019-2023 Scientific Programme. The use of Bioschemas markup is also recommended by the International Society for Biocuration in order to help make resources more discoverable. |

| Title | RO-Crate |
| Description | RO-Crate is a community effort to establish a lightweight approach to packaging research data with their metadata. It is based on schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, and aims to make best-practice in formal metadata description accessible and practical for use in a wider variety of situations, from an individual researcher working with a folder of data, to large data-intensive computational research environments. RO-Crate is the marriage of Research Objects with DataCrate. It aims to build on their respective strengths, but also to draw on lessons learned from those projects and similar research data packaging efforts. The RO-Crate effort brings together practitioners from very different backgrounds, and with different motivations and use-cases. Among our core target users are: a) researchers engaged with computation and data-intensive, workflow-driven analysis; b) digital repository managers and infrastructure providers; c) individual researchers looking for a straight-forward tool or how-to guide to "FAIRify" their data; d) data stewards supporting research projects in creating and curating datasets. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2019 |

| Impact | RO-Crate is now widely recognised as an approach to deliver FAIR Digital Objects in a web-native way. It is used by a range of pan-European infrastructures including ELIXIR and EOSC-Life for life science data and computational workflows, RELIANCE for geo-physical data, social sciences surveys, biodiversity specimen data refinary workflows, cultural heritage projects in Australia and citation mechanisms for the American Geo-Physical Union. It is highlighted in the EOSC-Future roadmap. 50% of the papers of a recently published special issue on canonical workflows in science cited RO-Crate. The WorkflowHub is RO-Crate enabled. |

| Collaborator Contribution | Cardiff University will primarily address the mission of ELIXIR "to build a sustainable European infrastructure for biological information" through the contribution of the LIPID MAPS Gateway to ELIXIR-UK. This collection of databases and resources serve the global lipid research community, with over 1M users per year worldwide. LIPID MAPS was created in the USA in 2003 via an NIH Glue grant that ran till 2013. In July 2016, The Wellcome Trust funded a Biomedical Resources Grant (£1.3M, O'Donnell PI) to further maintain and develop the resource, for 5 yrs, in collaboration with colleagues at Babraham Institute and University of California, San Diego (UCSD). In early 2018, LIPID MAPS moved to the UK, preserving its internationally recognised classification system and curated public open access lipid structure database, the largest in the world. The LIPID MAPS Gateway provides access to lipid nomenclature, databases, tools, protocols, standards, tutorials, meetings, publications, and other resources. Importantly, it has generated the internationally-used LIPID MAPS nomenclature and classification system (the global standard embedded in most journals worldwide). |

| Collaborator Contribution | The main motivation for the UEA to apply to become an Elixir UK node member, is the application in response to the 2021 Request for Proposals for Community-led Implementation Studies: "Building on PDBe-KB to chart and characterise the conformational landscape of native proteins" led by Professor Shoshana Wodak at the Free University of Brussels. This pan-European project concerns the creation of infrastructure to chart the experimentally sampled conformational diversity of native proteins in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) augmented with results of state-of-the-art computational tools. It is divided into five work packages (WP's) and WP2 is to be led by Dr Steven Hayward of the Computational Biology Laboratory at the School of Computing Sciences, UEA, and Professor Wodak. WP2, "Characterizing protein regions with different flexibility properties and links to sequence and functional annotations" concerns characterizing conformational ensembles and identifying key regions such as hinge and linker. Hayward will also be involved in WP5, "Implementation study management, dissemination and training." |

| Results and Impact | ELIXIR-UK Members Carole Goble (Manchester), Susanna-Assunta Sansone (Oxford) and Marco Brandizi (Rothamsted) orgnaised a mini symposium on Reserach Data Management: The advancement of science and technology in modern scientific research has called for a comprehensive research data management that can handle complex data and knowledge. Various activities at ELIXIR extend into the different components of Research Data Management (RDM). Data interoperability of complex bioinformatics knowledge requires supporting tools and compute infrastructures, along with capacity building in order to achieve the ideal efficiency for global data operations. This mini-symposium aims to highlight success stories and best practices in development of activities and implementations across ELIXIR in the scope of management of complex data that drives knowledge transfer and discovery. This session emphasises on the ecosystem of knowledge transfer and discoverability by all technical aspects: Data, Interoperability, Tools, Compute, and Training, for all ELIXIR Community use cases. Additional aspects of RDM include research reproducibility and long-term knowledge validation and preservation. This session is open to all ELIXIR members with no restrictions to any specific projects. |

| Results and Impact | Carole Goble gave a talk at to the Interoperability Platform members: FAIRy Stories: The FAIR Data Principles in Theory and in Practice May 2021 Abstract. The "FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship" [1] launched a global dialogue within research and policy communities and started a journey to wider accessibility and reusability of data and preparedness for automation-readiness (I am one of the armies of authors). Over the past 5 years, FAIR has become a movement, a mantra, and a methodology for scientific research and, increasingly, in the commercial and public sector. FAIR is now part of NIH, the European Commission, and OECD policy. But just figuring out what the FAIR principles really mean and how we implement them has proved more challenging than one might have guessed. To quote the novelist Rick Riordan "Fairness does not mean everyone gets the same. Fairness means everyone gets what they need." As a data infrastructure wrangler, I lead and participate in projects implementing forms of FAIR in pan-national European biomedical Research Infrastructures. We apply web-based industry-led approaches like Schema.org; work with big pharma on specialized FAIRification pipelines for legacy data; promote FAIR by Design methodologies and platforms into the researcher lab; and expand the principles of FAIR beyond data to computational workflows and digital objects. Many use Linked Data approaches. In this talk, I will use some of these projects to shine some light on the FAIR movement. Spoiler alert: Although there are technical issues, the greatest challenges are social. FAIR is a team sport. Knowledge Graphs play a role-not just as consumers of FAIR data but as active contributors. To paraphrase another novelist, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Knowledge Graph must be in want of FAIR data." |

| Results and Impact | ELIXIR All Hands 2021 Workshop | Tooling up for FAIR: Documenting the FAIRtracks use case in the FAIR Cookbook Phillipe Rocca Serra gave a talk - The FAIR Cookbook: contributing recipes This workshop brings together two resources for data FAIRification through the scenario of developing a FAIR Cookbook recipe for FAIRtracks, documenting the process of FAIRifying genomic tracks (i.e. genome browser datasets). We present practical issues of some generality where ad hoc solutions are prevalent, alongside experiences from other FAIR Cookbook projects regarding the state of FAIR tooling. Finally, we invite audience members invested in FAIR to discuss the idea of implementing a data processing framework with reusable modules (e.g. ontology mapping, batch error correction, model conversion, validation) that allows custom FAIRification pipelines. With this, we aim to attract interest from possible contributors and collaborators. |

| Results and Impact | This was the second iteration of the UK Conference of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (UK-CBCB), organised in conjunction with ELIXIR-UK. The conference was designed to bring together biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, software engineers and data scientists across the life sciences to share innovations, applications and best practice in their fields. Applicable to bioinformatics researchers working on core services or in research teams as well as computer scientists or bioinformaticians developing tools or maintaining data resources. Originally planned as an in-person event, as the pandemic progressed the decision was made to convert this to virtual only format. With all speakers happy to present for the event in this format, we continued with the planned 3-day event, and took abstract submissions for selected speakers for each of the sessions. We opted here for a nominal registration fee of £15 to cover the additional use of the Spatial chat platform for networking and poster sessions. Sessions included: Research Data Management; Metagenomics and Microbial Genomics; Computational Proteomics and Metabolomics; Bridging Genotype to Phenotype; Structural Bioinformatics; and Artificial Intelligence. The event also included a workshop session for the UKRI Innovation Scholars - Data Science Training in Health and Bioscience, to allow engagement across the various planned activities from this scheme, plus a short funder's perspective session on Data-intensive bioscience and artificial intelligence (UKRI-BBSRC). The sessions saw an even spread of attendees with similar numbers across all sessions. Three themes emerged from the conference: Theme 1: FAIR data Theme 2: COVID-19 response Theme 3: AI and Machine Learning. Attendees were predominantly national (non-Norwich Research Park) (85%) with some international (~17%) and from academia (92%) with the remainder (8%) from industry. |

| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | Structural bioinformatics provides methods and tools to analyse, predict, archive and validate the three-dimensional (3D) structure data of biomacromolecules such as proteins, RNA or DNA. The specific 3D shapes of macromolecules allow them to perform many functions within cells. Understanding their structures is therefore crucial for understanding the interactions and functions of cells, which in turn opens up potential for innovations in biotechnology and drug development. The 3D-BioInfo Community is concerned with improving the ontologies and validation tools for enabling better integration of the data and methods for analysing and predicting protein structures and their complexes. This series of 10 webinars is organised by the ELIXIR 3D-BioInfo Community and will present the five major aims of the community around protein structural annotations, protein complexes, protein ligand interactions, protein nucleic acid interactions and protein engineering. The webinars will also highlight recent developments towards meeting these aims. |
