I think the bio-ontologies SIG and Semantic Web would intersect. One can do
SW without ontology and one can do ontology without SW.
I think the data integration idea is a much better one. I think it a
mistake to have too narrow a technology focus. The ISMB folk definitely
like to see some biology and, if not that, some bioinformatics. So, doing
some data integration with an emphasis on actually doing bioinformatics
(perhaps with an SW theme) might go down OK.
I'd talk to the chair of the special sessions. There will be a call for SIG
proposals at some time in the next few months.

Yes, right.
Can semantic web be seen as distinct from ontologies ?

There has been a SIG on bioOntologies for the last ten years. If
you are planning on doing anything, then perhaps you should contact
those folk first.

my 0.001 cents,
If you look at the other sessions, there's nothing so
technologically oriented. And there's already a session on
ontologies.
Maybe a SIG ? (that by the way seem to be more interesting) with
a focus on data intergation in life sciences ? (just to give a
traslational touch).

as I see it, ISMB is always being preferring Science, instead

In principal, perhaps, but "technology" stuff seems to attract
plenty of attention (maybe not as main talks, but as SIGs, BOFs,
posters and demos, plus of course there are all the technology
vendors with their booths)...
we are speaking about a Special Session.
From the Charter:
Special Sessions have the purpose of introducing the ISMB
community to relevant and "hot" scientific topics that are
typically not within the focus of an ISMB meeting, and
highlighting the impact of computational biology and
bioinformatics within these emerging topics.
