** Apologies for cross posting **
Bio-Ontologies: Knowledge in Biology provides a forum for discussion of the latest and most cutting-edge research in ontologies and more generally the organisation, presentation and dissemination of knowledge in biology. It has existed as a SIG at ISMB for 11 years now, making it one of the longest running.
We are interested in any formal or informal approach to organising, presenting and disseminating knowledge in biology.
We invite submissions on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
This year's keynote speaker will by Barend Mons.
Submissions are now open and can be submitted through EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=bioontologies2009
We are inviting two types of submissions.
Following review, successful papers will be presented at the Bio-Ontologies SIG. Poster abstracts will be provided poster space and time will be allocated during the day for at least one poster session.
Unsuccessful papers will automatically be considered for poster presentation; there is no need to submit both on the same topic.
