Disha is a postdoc based in Lausanne, Switzerland

## Collaboration statement
In my current role, I am associated with Digital Botanical Gardens Initiative (DBGI, https://www.dbgi.org/). I am curating data on plant biodiversity, connecting their traits (TRY-db), interactions (GLOBI) and metabolites (ENPKG). I have used Ontop (https://ontop-vkg.org/) to build a virtual knowledge graph with this data. Subsequently, with DBGI contributors, I will create a big knowledge graph incorporating this data, thus making it my prospective open trait dataset. 

Besides plant biodiversity, I am curating data on microbes and their evolution, across various biotic and abiotic hosts. I plan to contribute this data to OTN in the future. I have also built tools for quantifying microbial composition through short- and long-read technologies.  

I can offer expertise in workflows for cleaning and combining plant biodiversity data. I can also help in creating virtual knowledge graphs using Ontop. I love communicating science and will be glad to write blogs for OTN on a variety of topics (e.g: general topics related to OTN, specific topics like importance of chemodiversity, etc.).

hey @mdrishti Disha -

Welcome, and thanks for joining the Open Traits Network. . . exciting to hear that you are planning to links your plant biodiversity dataset to TRY, GloBI and ENPKG.

It so happens to be that I help maintain GloBI, so please let me know if you have any questions or data to share. Happy to help where I can.

Please review your member profile available at https://opentraits.org/members/disha-tendon .

And, if you like writing, please consider becoming an editor of the OTN . . . https://opentraits.org/editors. This way, you'd have an more active role in shaping the open traits network and associated web stuff.

Hi @jhpoelen,

Thanks. Profile looks good. I will consider becoming an editor.
