JBMS Special Issue on papers from Bio-Ontologies 2009 is out!

Dear all,

On Behalf of the Bio-Ontology SIG organizers, I am pleased to inform you
that the Journal of Biomedical Semantics supplement containing select papers
from the Bio-Ontologies 2009 meeting is now available at:
http://www.jbiomedsem.com/supplements/1/S1

Among the co-organizers, special credit goes to Larisa Soldatova for leading
the editorial effort. We extend our thanks to the reviewers for providing
constructive feedback to expand the short meeting papers into journal length
papers. In the introduction to the supplement -- at
http://www.jbiomedsem.com/content/1/S1/I1 -- we briefly summarize the
selected papers. We invite you to read these outstanding papers.

At this time, we would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to
the upcoming Bio-Ontologies 2010 meeting at ISMB 2010 in Boston. This
year, both the Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group at
the W3C and the biomedical Knowledge Representation Working Group of the
American Medical Informatics Association have chosen the Bio-Ontologies
SIG as choice venue for cross-discipline exchange. Another event of note is
the joint panel session between the BioLink and Bio-Ontologies meetings on
July 10th. The full programme spans two days (details at:
http://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/programme) and registration details are
available at: http://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/registration.

Look forward to see you in Boston!

Regards,
Bio-Ontologies 2010 Organizers
