Dear Colleagues,

We want to invite you to submit papers to SATBI 2011, the First
International Workshop on Semantic Applied Technologies on Biomedical
Informatics which be co-located with the Second ACM International Conference
on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ACM-BCB) and will be held in
Chicago, IL, USA.

The workshop aims to attract researchers from Computer Science, Information
Science, Biomedicine, Bioinformatics, and related areas to share research
challenges, results, methods and advances in the appliance of Semantic Web
technologies to Bioinformatics field, paying special attention in papers
which covers Linked Data topic.

Apart from Linked Data main topic, we encourage researchers to submit papers
which are related with other topics related with Semantic technologies.

*IMPORTANT*: Authors of selected papers will have an opportunity to extend
their workshop papers for publication (subject to peer review) in Journal of
Biomedical Semantics.
