The intention of the GoldenGATE editor is to build a bridge between NLP components and XML markup of natural language text according to arbitrary XML schemas. It allows the deployment of NLP components to marking up the bodies of literature they were designed for. In this way, it enables transforming the texts into XML content according to an XML schema that was designed to gain maximum benefit from the knowledge provided in them. The GoldenGATE editor picks up the ideas of plug-in processing resources and pipelined processing implemented in the GATE framework (http://www.gate.co.uk), which has been widely used in many areas of NLP research. At the same time, it provides a full XML editor including assistance for manipulation of both text and markup, thus allowing users to improve data quality by manual intervention. In order to achieve maximum flexibility and extensibility, the GoldenGATE editor provides plug-and-play interfaces on many levels: Individual automated components for markup creation and manipulation, entire groups of functionalities, components accessing documents in arbitrary storage locations, and arbitrary document data formats. ...

The goal of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology is to support biomedical researchers in their knowledge-intensive work, by providing online tools and a Web portal enabling them to access, review, and integrate disparate ontological resources in all aspects of biomedical investigation and clinical practice. A major focus of our work involves the use of biomedical ontologies to aid in the management and analysis of data derived from complex experiments. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) is an application focused ontology modelling the experimental factors in ArrayExpress. The ontology has been developed to increase the richness of the annotations that are currently made in the ArrayExpress repository, to promote consistent annotation, to facilitate automatic annotation and to integrate external data. The methodology employed in the development of EFO involves construction of mappings to multiple existing domain specific ontologies, such as the Disease Ontology and Cell Type Ontology. This is achieved using a combination of automated and manual curation steps and the use of a phonetic matching algorithm. The ontology is evaluated with use cases from the ArrayExpress repository and ArrayExpress. ... [Information of the supplier]
This workshop aims to bring together computer scientists and biologists, working on Semantic Web approaches for biodiversity, ecology and related areas such as plant sciences, agronomy, agroecology or citizen science related to biodiversity. The goal is to exchange experiences, build a state of the art of realizations and challenges, and reuse and adapt solutions that have been proposed in other domains. The workshop focuses on presenting challenging issues and solutions for the design of high-quality biodiversity information systems leveraging Semantic Web techniques. ...

The International Conference on Biomedical Ontologies (ICBO) is a premier annual conference series that brings together researchers, students and professionals involved in the development and application of ontologies in all areas of biology, medicine, diseases, human health, genome biology, environment, biomes, nutrition, food, plants, agriculture and others. This year, ICBO will be run jointly with Ontologies and Data for the Life Sciences (ODLS), an annual workshop series that focuses on data management and data processing in the life sciences and in health care, covering the overall spectrum of biomedical information management, from experimental data acquisition and preprocessing across analysis, structuring and interpretation of data, up to developing structured representations of knowledge, in particular in the form of ontologies, with their various applications. ICBO 2020 will be one of the headline conferences in the Bolzano Summer of Knowledge 2020, together with EKAW 2020 and FOIS 2020. The theme for ICBO|ODLS 2020 is Ontology across Boundaries. ...

BioWareDB.org is an attempt at collecting an exhaustive hyperlinked database links to the vast amounts of freely available and commercial bioinformatics and biocomputing software. The database consists of records obtained from automated harvesting of online repositories of software, from journals delving with bioinformatics software and from currated manual entries. The database is updated on a bi-monthly basis and links to the software are verified. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) is a national initiative to advance biomedical research through data sharing and online collaboration. Our work focuses directly on the biomedical research community’s unique, data-intensive sharing and analysis needs, which are particularly evident in fields such as biomedical imaging and genetics. BIRN provides a user-driven, software-based framework for research teams to share significant quantities of data – rapidly, securely and privately – across geographic distance and/or incompatible computing systems. We also offer data-sharing software tools specific to biomedical research, best practices references, expert advice and other resources. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
iCBBE is an annual conference in China since 2007. This conference was originated by Prof. Kuo-Chen Chou from the Gordon Life Science Institute, USA and was held in Wuhan, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu from 2007 to 2013. Each year there are 100 - 500 attendees from Asia, Europe, America, etc., and there has been quite a few well known experts giving plenary speeches. The 8th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering (iCBBE 2014) will be held from September 20-22, 2014 in Suzhou, China. You are invited to submit papers and participate in our academic exchange. ... [Information of the supplier]
