Hi Don, Matthias, John, Kei, et al.,
I too would like to contribute to an SfN abstract in this context.
I believe given the domain HCLS IG is covering - neurodegenerative
disease - despite the lack of a full, refereed article, this is a
very important venue in which to present, in order to help bolster
the relevance and credibility of this effort to the general
neuroscience community. With a working demo, it would be a shame NOT
to have it represented at the SfN meeting.
We could also look to use such an abstract as starting material for a
full submission to journals that cover neuroinformatics such as
Neuroinformatics, PLoS Computational Biology, or Journal of
Computational Neuroscience.
In regards to relevant neuroscience meetings, there are also the
meetings hosted by:
Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS):
http://fens.mdc-berlin.de/calendar/
International Brain Research Organization (IBRO):
http://www.ibro.org/Pub_Events_Search.asp?Search=.
The Japan Neuroscience Society
http://www.jnss.org/english/index_e.html
http://www2.convention.jp/neuro2007/
Federation of Asian and Oceanian Neuroscience Societies (FAONS)
http://www.faons.org/
I'm not certain what the deadlines are for the associated meetings.
Cheers,
Bill

Hi Matthias,
That'd be great! SfN abstracts are brief (max. 2300 characters
including
punctuation!) so focusing on the value to neuroscientists sounds
like the
right course.
Abstract may be presented or posters. Slide presentations are kept
very
brief and there is so much going on most people won't see a
particular slide
presentation. Even if we indicate our preference for a slide
presentation
it's likely we wouldn't get it.
If we do a poster it will be up half a day. We can bring our demo
machine
and set it up next to the poster. (I've seen BIRN and others do this.
Wireless is generally available.) I think this is the preferred
mode for us.
There is also a $75 submission fee.
I'm willing to take responsibility for paying the submission fee,
getting
the poster up, staying there while it's up, and working the demo as
long as
everyone is interested in doing this and a demo machine will be
available.
We won't get a paper out of it but I think it's worthwhile to
expose the
end-user community (neuroscientists) to the value the Semantic Web
technologies may provide to them.
Best wishes,
Don

Hi Don,
I would help with the abstract for SfN where I can, of course. I
guess it
should be even more focussed on the requirements and use cases in
Neuroscience than the BMC Bioinformatics paper. Mainly a
description of the
collaborating neuroscience groups, their motivation and the types of
information that we are integrating, and less about the technical
details.
I guess it is much too late to start writing a group paper for the
ISMB
workshop now. A poster abstract would be possible, but I think we
don't want
to present a poster.
cheers,
Matthias
This year's Society for Neuroscience meeting abstracts are due May
15th.
I'd
like to take the lead on submitting an abstract if the team is
interested.
Don
P.S. This year's meeting is November 3-7 in San Diego, California.

I forget, was someone submitting an abstract about our work to this
workshop?

CALL FOR PAPERS and POSTER ABSTRACTS (Deadline May 1st)
Proceedings in BMC Bioinformatics
The long-standing ISMB Bio-Ontologies SIG is in its tenth
consecutive year. This year the workshop will have a celebratory
and reflective discussion on "Bio-Ontologies: ten years past and
looking to the future".
PROGRAM CHAIRS:
Robert Stevens (1), Phillip Lord (2), Robin McEntire (3), Susanna-
A. Sansone (4)
1. School of Computer Science, University of Manchester, UK
2. School of Computing Science, University of Newcastle, UK

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, to 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 and 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
PROGRAM COMMITTEE
Abstracts will be reviewed by the Program Committee, including the
Program Chairs and additionally: David Benton, Suzanna Lewis, Chris
Mungall and Alan Ruttenberg.
PUBLICATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS
The Programme Committee will also select those papers, which are
suitable for further publication in a BMC Bioinformatics
Supplement. Authors will be invited to resubmit full papers.
