CfP: Invitation to submit to the first annual JBMS Ontology Issue

*****************************************************
* Call for papers: First Annual JBMS Ontology Issue *
*****************************************************

Dear all,

The Journal of Biomedical Semantics (JBMS) invites submissions to its
first annual Ontology Issue.  

The purpose of the JBMS Ontology Issue is to provide a single location
at which potential users of ontologies can find ontologies that are
available for their research, and which are free or free for academic
use. Two types of submission will be considered: Ontology Descriptions
and Ontology Updates.

- Ontology Descriptions can be used to describe an ontology that has not
previously been published in a significant journal.

- Ontology Updates describes the recent development and changes to an
ontology.

All ontologies published in the JBMS Ontology Issue must be freely
available (or free for academic use) at the time of submission, and they
must be applicable in biological or biomedical research.

Before submission, authors must send a short summary of their manuscript
to the organizers at bmontol@jbiomedsem.com, outlining the content and
the scope of their ontology and its actual or intended use in biological
or biomedical research. The short summary must be sent by 15 February,
2013.

The full submission instructions are attached. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann
or Robert Hoehndorf at bmontol@jbiomedsem.com.

With best regards,
Robert Hoehndorf.
