CALL FOR PAPERS

OBML 2011 - 3rd Workshop on Ontologies in Biomedicine and Life Sciences

Berlin, Germany -- October 6-7, 2011
Co-located with INFORMATIK 2011

Website: https://wiki.imise.uni-leipzig.de/Gruppen/OBML/Workshops/2011en

Submission of short papers (2-4 pages) due: June 30, 2011

Goals of the Workshop
-----------------------
The series "Ontologies in Biomedicine and Life Sciences" (OBML workshop)
was initiated by the workgroup for OBML of the German Society for
Computer Science in 2009. The OBML aims to bring together scientists who
are working in this area to exchange ideas and discuss new results, to
start collaborations and to initiate new projects. The OBML workshop is
held once annually and deals with all fundamental aspects of biomedical
ontologies as well as additional "hot" topics.

Submissions are requested especially for the following topics:

* Ontologies and terminologies in biology, medicine, and clinical
  research;
* Ontologies for knowledge representation, methods of reasoning,
  integration and interoperability of ontologies;
* Methods and tools for the construction and management of ontologies;
* Applications of the Semantic Web in biomedicine and the life
  sciences.

The focus of the OBML-2011 is "Phenotype ontologies in medicine and
biomedical research".
