Call for participation - OntoPortal Workshop 2023 (online) public sessions

We are pleased to announce the 2nd OntoPortal Alliance Workshop in Lecce, Italy from September 26-29, 2023.

The OntoPortal Alliance <https://ontoportal.org/> is a consortium of several research and infrastructure teams and a company dedicated to promoting the development of ontology repositories ––in science and other disciplines–– based on the open, collaboratively developed OntoPortal open source software <https://github.com/ontoportal>. Teams in the Alliance develop and maintain several openly accessible semantic resource repositories. This includes BioPortal <https://bioportal.bioontology.org/>, the primary and historical source of OntoPortal code, but also AgroPortal <http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/>, EcoPortal <http://ecoportal.lifewatchitaly.eu/>, MedPortal <http://medportal.bmicc.cn/> and MatPortal <https://matportal.org/> and more.

The 2023 workshop will feature 2 public (open to all interested parties) online events: 
A virtual public session, September 27th, 16h-18h CEST with a quick general presentation of OntoPortal, a user panel and Q&A session with representatives of different communities using the OntoPortal technology and a tutorial (to be confirmed).
