It's possible but I doubt it would go down as a Special Session. That isn't to discourage anyone from trying though. You could surely apply for a software demonstration slot, and anyone can do a BoF. You could also apply for a SIG meeting, but ISCB has become increasingly careful in eva

Well, I certainly view ontologies as just one part of the semantic web universe, particularly from the enterprise perspective. .02- MM - Original Message - From: "Andrea Splendiani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Suzanna Lewis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Paolo Romano" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "

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

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).

Hello, as I see it, ISMB is always being preferring Science, instead of Technology. So, a session on the Semantic Web could be seen as non adequate to the exceptionally high scientific level of the meeting. My 1 cent. Paolo At 14:12 20/09/2007, Marco Roos wrote: Hello all, I would like t

Hello all, I would like to show my support for the idea of my colleague Scott on the list. I've heard rumour that semantic web people have started doubting whether their own inventions, especially OWL, are catching on. In my view they have to be more patient. As far as I can see there are no
