Ontologies for  Bioinformatics will be chaired by A/Prof. Jake Chen from Indiana University, USA

There will be a Special Issue of International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications (IJBRA) on "Ontologies for  Bioinformatics". Extended versions of selected papers from this paper will be published in that. More details are here.

There will be two sessions for this track. Distribution of  accepted papers in the sessions is here.

We accepted 8 of the 17 papers submitted to the track. List of accepted papers is  here. Please make sure that you submit your camera ready papers by the deadline of April 5, 2006.

Deadlines Extended!!

Biomedical Ontologies have developed in an uncoordinated way, often reflecting mere relations of 'association' between what are called 'concepts', and serving primarily the purposes of information extraction from on-line biomedical literature and databases. In recent years, we have learned a great deal about the criteria which must be satisfied if ontology is to allow true information integration and automatic reasoning across data and information derived from different sources. The goal of this track is to survey existing biomedical ontologies and reform them in such a way as to allow true information integration in biomedical domain. Authors are invited to submit original papers exploring following key themes of the track:

• Conceptual Models for Biological and Medical Data

• Use of Semantics to manage Interoperation in Biomedical Databases

• Biomedical Data Engineering using Ontologies

• Support of Ontologies for Biological Information Retrieval and Web Services

• Tools for Development and Management of Biomedical Ontologies
