About the Bio-Ontologies SIG workshop
The workshop will continue offer an informal environment for
presentation and discussion of ontologies and their role in providing a
mechanism for organising, sharing and reconciling data. This year, o
celebrate its tenth anniversary, we have invited four presenters from
the first bio-ontologies tutorial and meeting organisers to sit on a
panel, namely:
- Mark Musen
- Peter Karp
- Russ Altman
- Steffen Schulze-Kremer
They will be asked to present positions on the following questions:
1. What has been the best thing to have happened in bio-ontologies in
the past ten years?
2. What has been the worst thing to have happened in bio-ontologies
in the past ten years?
3. How must bio-ontologies progress in the next ten years?
4. How must bio-ontologies not progress in the next ten years
Call for papers and poster abstract:
We are inviting two types of submissions SHORT PAPER papers (up to 4
pages) and POSTER ABSTRACT (up to 1/2 page) from any aspect doing
bio-ontology research or using bio-ontologies to do bioinformatics
research. Topics include, but are not restricted to:
- Biological Applications of Ontologies
- Reports on Newly Developed or Existing Bio-Ontologies
- Tools for Developing Ontologies
- Use of Ontologies in Data Communication Standards
- Use of Semantic Web technologies in Bioinformatics
- The implications of Bio-Ontologies or the Semantic Web for
the drug discovery process
- Current Research In Ontology Languages and its implication
for Bio-Ontologies
DETAILS AND DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:
May 1st, 2007
