Hi Matthias et al,
It looks like there is some interest in writing a group paper describing
the demo work that is currently going on. Some people have already
proposed a couple of options such as the following:
1. ISMB BioOnt Workshop whose proceedings will be published in a
supplement issue of BMC Bioinformatics (is there a publication cost?)
2. Society for Neuroscience meeting (will it be published in a journal?)
There are also other otpions. For example, there is a special issue
"Semantic BioMed Mashup" of the Journal of Biomedical Informatics
(http://www.elsevier.com/framework_products/promis_misc/jbi_semantic.pdf).
I have also seen community papers published in high-profile journals
such as Nature and Science. It depends on the quality of the work, but
it also depends on people's interest, commitment, availability ...
The first HCLS paper (which will be published in BMC Bioinformatics
soon) talks about SW visions and use cases in the area of translational
medicine. A new paper paper (if we decide to write one) might focus on
the SW implementation of these visions and use cases. We have more
results now ...
Best,
-Kei

How much time would we have left to write such a community paper? The original
deadline for submissions is May 1 (today).
If some of us should decide to write such a community paper, I would volunteer
to coordinate the collaborative writing via Google Docs. Many of us already
have some practice in using this system, and I guess it would now work better
than the last time.
