Ontologies 2012
Hi all,
by that time we should be able to submit something on GenXO. I guess the
accepted papers will be published in a special issue (of something...).

*** Topics ***
Ontologies are increasingly used in the semantic description of biological
and medical data from creation to publication and consumption by semantically
enabled applications. To be effective, such ontologies must be of high quality
and work well together. Therefore, issues like techniques for ontology use,
good ontology design, ontology maintenance, and ontology coordination need to
be addressed. The International Conference on Biomedical Ontology (ICBO) series
is designed to meet this need. ICBO 2012, the third event in the highly
successful series, will bring together representatives of all major communities
involved in ontology use and development in biomedical research, health care,
and related areas.
*** Call for Papers ***
ICBO 2012 is soliciting submissions of novel (not previously published nor
concurrently submitted) research papers in the areas of the application of
ontologies to biomedical problems, ontology design and ontology
interoperability, at any stage in the process of data creation to its use in
applications. Submissions will be welcome from a broad range of approaches to
ontology building and use. In particular, we would like to invite contributions
on these aspects of biomedical ontologies, as well as on the use of such
ontologies in knowledge management, knowledge discovery and next-generation
publishing. We will accept full-length papers (5 pages), poster submissions (1
page abstracts), software demonstrations (2 page abstracts or 5 page full
application papers), and early career researcher symposium submissions (2 page
abstracts). We are also looking for submissions of half-day or full-day
workshops and tutorials. Workshops should be working sessions with a specific
outcome that can be subsequently presented at the main conference. Tutorials
are educational events and may involve hands-on practicals.
Submission is via EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icbo-2012), according to the
templates provided on the conference web site.
