See you in Toronto! The Program Chairs: Phillip Lord (1), Susanna-A. Sansone (2), Nigam Shah (3), Matt Cockerill (4) 1. School of Computing Science, University of Newcastle, UK 2. EMBL-EBI The European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge, UK 3. Center for Biomedical Informatics, Stanford University, USA 4. BioMedCentral *^**^***^****^****^****^****^****^****^****^****^****^*****^**^***^** The Bio-Ontologies Meeting has existed as a Special Interest Group meeting at ISMB for more than a decade, making it one of the longest running SIG meetings. The Bio-Ontologies SIG meeting has provided a forum for discussion on the latest and most cutting edge research on ontologies. In this decade, the use of ontologies has become mature, moving from niche to mainstream usage within bioinformatics. As result, this year we are broadening the scope of SIG to include formal and informal approaches to organising, presenting and disseminating knowledge in biology. Keynote This year's keynote speaker will be Professor Philip E. Bourne, from the Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, UCSD. Panel Session This year's panel session will have the following members: - Philip E. Bourne, UCSD - Helen Parkinson, European Bioinformatics Institute - Matt Cockerill, BioMed Central - Mark Wilkinson, University of British Columbia Programme Committee We also wish to thank the programme committee for their excellent input and guidance - the programme committee, organised alphabetically is: Mike Bada, University of Colorado Judith Blake, Jackson Laboratory Frank Gibson, Newcastle University Cliff Joslyn, Pacific National Laboratory Wacek Kusnierczyk, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Robin MacEntire, GSK James Malone, EBI Helen Parkinson, EBI Daniel Rubin, Stanford University Alan Ruttenberg, Science Commons Susie M.
