Omics studies, such as those of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics and metabolomics, have accumulated a large volume of biomedical data. However, the promise to translate these “big data” into biomedical knowledge can be realized only if they are standardized to be interoperable, complete to ensure data integrity, and consistent in data content. Biocuration provides tools and procedures critical in realizing the promise. International Biocuration Conference (IBC) is the global discussion platform for biocurators, bioinformaticians, data scientists, as well as any biomedical researchers and practitioners who care about data quality and interoperability, and interested in the exploration of a great application potential by data-driven knowledge discovery It is our great pleasure to announce that the 8th International Biocuration Conference (IBC) will be held in April 23-26, 2015, at Beijing Friendship Hotel, Beijing, China. The newly assembled Organizing Committee, consisting of not only local organizers, but also of members from Executive Committee of International Society for Biocuration and the 7th IBC Organization Committee, will start to work out the details to repeat previous success in the delivery of great scientific program, intuitive and functional logistics. ...
