### Nominated participant(s)
- Dimitris Bampalikis
Neil Chue Hong (Software Sustainability Institute) or other expert from ReSA community
- Dr. Lars Juhl Jensen, University of Copenhagen,
Dr. Martin Krallinger, CNIO,
## Expected outcomes
-The direct outcome of this project is going to be a draft checklist of a Software Management Plan (SMP). This will be further reviewed within the ELIXIR Software Best Practices WG, in conjunction with the involved stakeholders (i.e. from the ELIXIR network, relevant Journals as well as potential funding agencies such as EC). Mid-term goal of the project is to have an established SMP in place, that would be a requirement in at least one network. Moreover, the topics of the Management plan will be also included in the existing training material as extensions, so that targeted training can be provided.
-We look forward to the development of a common integration between cross-resource literature knowledgebase projects, delivering advancements on interoperability and accessibility of text-mining resources by developing an interface by extending existing APIs and application of standards, for example, W3C Web Annotation Data Model. This common interface will be tangentially beneficial for the different use cases that, for example, creation of interaction networks and disease maps and annotate corresponding entities, relationships and events through such knowledge databases. We are planned to submit a manuscript on Biohackathon outcome. Between the potential achievements, we could find an extended and lasting collaboration between institutions as well as scientific literature contributions, exploring the deployment of joint multi-institutional services.
## Expected audience
- Participants: Software developers, Research Software Engineers, Researchers
Knowledge: GitHub, Data Management Plan, Software Development, Software Engineering Practices
- Bioinformaticians and developers working in the areas of text-mining, network biology and semantic web technologies.
By all means, organisers commit to the proposal with the participation and contribution of developers, bioinformaticians for the event to ensure the presence of enough human resources and provide momentum during the biohackathon. 3 people from the University of Luxembourg and 2 from EMBL-EBI will participate in this Biohackathon topic.
