** Call for Papers Submissions are now invited Bio-Ontologies 2009: Knowledge in Biology, a SIG at Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology 2009. *** Key Dates - Submissions Due: April 10th (Friday) - Notifications: May 1st (Friday) - Final Version Due: May 8th (Friday) - Workshop: June 28th (Sunday) *** Introduction Bio-Ontologies: Knowledge in Biology provides a forum for discussion of the latest and most cutting-edge research in ontologies and more generally the organisation, presentation and dissemination of knowledge in biology. It has existed as a SIG at ISMB (http://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2009) for 11 years now, making it one of the longest running. We are interested in any formal or informal approach to organising, presenting and disseminating knowledge in biology. We invite submissions on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to: - Semantic and/or Scientific Wikis. - Multimedia Blogs - Folksonomies - Tag Clouds - Collaborative Curation Platforms - Collaborative Ontology Authoring and Peer-Review Mechanisms - 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 - Implications of Bio-Ontologies or the Semantic Web for Drug Discovery - Research in Ontology Languages and its Effect on Bio-Ontologies ** Programme This year's keynote speaker will by Barend Mons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barend_Mons). *** Submissions Submissions are now open and can be submitted through easychair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bioontologies2009). *** Instructions to Authors We are inviting two types of submissions. - Short papers, up to 4 pages. - Poster abstracts, up to 1/2 page. Following review, successful papers will be presented at the Bio-Ontologies SIG. Poster abstracts will be provided poster space and time will be allocated during the day for at least one poster session. Unsuccessful papers will automatically be considered for poster presentation; there is no need to submit both on the same topic. *** Organisers Phillip Lord, Newcastle University Susanna-Assunta Sansone, EBI Nigam Shah, Stanford Susie Stephens, Eli Lilly Larisa Soldatova, University of Wales, Aberystwyth *** Programme Committee The programme committee, organised alphabetically is: Michael Bada, University of Colorado Denver Olivier Bodenreider, National Library Medicine Kei Cheung, Yale Center for Medical Informatics Paolo Ciccarese, Harvard Sudeshna Das, Harvard Michel Dumontier, Carleton University Wacek Kusnierczyk, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Cliff Joslyn, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Midori Harris, European Bioinformatics Institute James Malone, European Bioinformatics Institute Robin McEntire, Independent Consultant Parsa Mirhaji, University of Texas David Newman, ECS, University of Southampton Chimezie Ogbuji, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Alexandre Passant, DERI Alan Ruttenberg, Science Commons Phillippe Rocca-Serra, European Bioinformatics Institute Matthias Samwald, DERI Robert Stevens, University of Manchester Yimin Wang, Eli Lilly Mark Wilkinson, Medical Genetics, U. of British Columbia Jenna Zhou, Eli Lilly and the conference organisers. *** Templates Submission templates are available from the website (http://bio-ontologies.org.uk).
