Data Standardization — GlycoCT and FAIR Repositories — Hands-on

Build practical skills in representing, annotating and sharing glycomics data using community standards. This module covers GlycoCT and related formats, metadata and MIRAGE guidelines, controlled vocabularies, and end-to-end submission workflows to glycan repositories in a FAIR-compliant manner.
