CfP: JBMS Ontology Issue (deadline 30 April)

*****************************************************
 
* 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.

********** Dates ************

The short summary must be sent by 30 April, 2013.
    
Full papers are due by May 31, 2013.
    
The Ontology Issue will be published by the end of 2013.
    

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.
