General description Neste curso imos explorar os conceptos teóricos de xestión de información, así como o software e ferramentas para a obtención, extracción, etiquetaxe, visualización e explotación de coñecemento biomédico. Exploraremos os modelado sintáctico e semántico da información, os métodos de obtención e recolección de información, métodos de integración, extracción e etiquetaxe terminolóxica, estándares de representación semántica de información biomédica, e técnicas de análises e visualización do coñecemento

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Mixed objective/subjective test A6 B3 B6 C3 C8 Questions about acquired knowledge.
Questions that involve reasoning based on the knowledge acquired to solve practical problems of real interest. It is mandatory to reach 40% of the grade to pass the subject 		50
Laboratory practice C3 C8 Correction and completeness of the practices proposed for the proper use of the explained tools. It is mandatory to reach 40% of the grade to pass the subject 40
Supervised projects B3 B6 Follow up of the work and evaluation on the result achieved and individual participation of the students in the classes. It is mandatory to reach 40% of the grade to pass the subject 10
 
Assessment comments

For the second opportunity and not ordinary exams, both practice and theory will be evaluated in the mixed exam. If the minimum grade in the different tests is not reached, the maximum grade of the student will be 4.5. For part-time students, the grading scale and continuous assessment are the same as for other students. If plagiarism is detected the student will not pass the subject.
