Dear all,    (01)

this is the final Call for Participation for the 1st workshop on
Semantic Web Applications and Tools for Life Sciences (SWAT4LS).    (02)

The program has been enriched, as you can see at http://www.swat4ls.org/ .
We welcome you all in Edinburgh quite soon.    (03)

Best regards,    (04)

Adrian Paschke    (05)

Overview    (012)

This workshop will provide a showcase and a space for discussion of
benefits and limits of the adoption of Semantic Web technologies
and tools in biomedical informatics and computational biology.    (013)

It will provide:
     * two keynotes
     * a tutorial
     * oral communications on applications, tools and use cases
     * a poster/demo session (some posters will be selected for flash
       oral presentations)
     * a panel discussion on perspectives of the Semantic Web
       in Life Sciences    (014)

Keynotes    (015)

Semantic Web Technology in Translational Cancer Research
Michael Krauthammer, Department of Pathology, Yale University
School of Medicine, USA    (016)

Michael Krauthammer received his M.D. degree at the University of
Zurich, Switzerland.
After board certification (general practitioner), he obtained a
Ph.D. in biomedical informatics at Columbia University in New York
and joined the Yale Pathology Informatics program in July, 2004.
His main research interests are the design of large scale text and
image mining systems and research in translational informatics.    (017)

He is the co-director of the bioinformatics core of the Yale SPORE
in skin cancer, a large translational research program, and member
of the Yale Cancer Center (YCC) informatics steering committee.
He is the Yale PI for adopting caBIG's caTISSUE specimen tracking
system across the Yale Medical Campus, enabling Yale researcher
to manage their tissue banks and share data via the caGRID
infrastructure.
He is involved, on a national level, in enabling the collaboration
among existing skin SPORE programs using caBIG technology.
The project, termed "melaGRID", that is carried out by using
semantic web technologies, will allow for the sharing of clinical,
tissue and omics data, and will be instrumental for performing
cross-institutional biomarker studies in melanoma.    (018)

Web 2.0 + Web 3.0 = Web 5.0? Using Ontologies to bring Web
Services on to the Semantic Web
Mark Wilkinson, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada    (019)

Mark is an Assistant Professor of Medical Genetics at the
University of British Columbia, in Vancouver.
He is also PI in Bioinformatics at the Heart & Lung Research
Institute at St. Paul's Hospital. His primary research interests
relate to the construction and use of Semantic systems in the
biomedical domain, and in particular the role of mass-collaboration
in the development and maintenance of Semantic Web technologies
and frameworks. He is founder and leader of the BioMoby project
and founder and leader of the SHARE project.    (020)

He will be discussing the BioMoby project and how it opened his
eyes to what the Semantic Web could look like, and what mistakes
were made along the way. He will then go on to discuss plans for
the next generation of Moby Semantic Web Services, where he
attempts to make Web Service access completely transparent,
such that the "Deep Web" can be queried just like any other Semantic
Web resource.    (021)

Tutorial    (022)

The W3C Interest Group on Semantic Web Technologies for Health
Care and Life Sciences
M. S. Marshall, W3 HCLS IG co-chair    (023)

The W3C Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Sciences Interest
Group (HCLS IG) was recently rechartered for the next three years
to continue its mission to develop, advocate for, and support the use
of Semantic Web technologies for biological science, translational
medicine and health care. Membership in the group has grown to
89 participants, with a wide range of representation from industry
and academia. The HCLS tutorial will discuss the challenges and
opportunities at hand. An overview of the activities of each of the
current task forces in HCLS will be provided, along with a description
of how specific Semantic Web technologies are being applied.
Some new developments and the recent Face2Face meeting will
also be discussed, as well as how interested parties can participate.    (024)
