Dear Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation community,


[Apologies for cross-posting]


CfP - ISMB Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation COSI Liverpool (UK) 2025


What: Annual Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation COSI at ISMB

When: July 20-24, 2025

Where: Liverpool, UK

Website: https://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/2025-meeting; https://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2025/home 


Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation (http://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/) is an International Society of Molecular Biology (ISMB) Community of Special Interest (COSI) and working group focused on the FAIR development and application of ontologies and other Linked Open Data resources, the latest and most innovative research in the application of these data, and the organization, presentation, and dissemination of knowledge in biomedicine and the life sciences. Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation will be in its 28th year at ISMB 2025 (https://www.iscb.org/ismb2025), which will be held in-person and online between July 20-24, 2025 and will feature two days of exciting keynotes and cutting-edge research with with half of one session conducted jointly with the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC; https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2025/) COSI..


Submissions

We invite the submissions of proceedings papers (9 pages), abstracts (1 page) which will be reviewed and selected abstracts invited for oral or poster presentation.


The COSI covers these topics:

  • New knowledge bases, knowledge graphs, and ontologies

  • Methods that use knowledge bases, knowledge graphs, and ontologies

  • Applications using knowledge bases, knowledge graphs, and ontologies

  • Methods to improve knowledge bases, knowledge graphs, and ontologies in bioinformatics, biomedical/life science research, health informatics, and healthcare


Examples include (but are not limited to):

  • Novel knowledge bases, knowledge graphs, and ontologies in bioinformatics

  • Ontologies and knowledge graphs in annotations, mapping applications, and metadata standards

  • FAIR data systems and application of ontologies and other linked open data

  • Bio-curation platforms

  • Evaluation of knowledge graphs, ontologies, and knowledge bases

  • Ontologies, knowledge representation, and reasoning

  • Machine learning/artificial intelligence and knowledge representation

  • Neuro-symbolic methods in bioinformatics

  • Semantic Web-enabled applications

  • Ontologies for biomedical/life science research, health informatics, and healthcare


Submissions can be made on the ISMB site (https://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2025). For proceedings, please follow the instructions provided on the ISMB site. For all other submissions, please prepare your submission using the Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation templates (https://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/2025-meeting). All submissions are reviewed (review criteria provided on the Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation website). Based on the review process, abstracts will be selected for oral or poster presentation at the Bio-Ontologies and Knowledge Representation COSI.

Accepted submissions require that one author register for the conference and present the work. The presenter should identify themselves as the corresponding author during the submission process.
