Towards mature use of semantic resources for biomedical analyses

Use of semantic resources, such as ontologies, has been the key to the standardisation of IT solutions and their interoperability in recent years. Combining semantic resources with biomedical data analysis is developing into a dedicated research domain and stimulates related research in biomedical research fields. The growing attention to semantics-driven analyses motivates full-fledged conferences dedicated to the latest scientific results in this domain. The conference series entitled Symposium on Semantic Mining in Biomedicine (SMBM )c onstitutes ap latform for activities of researchers showing interest in text and data mining in biomedicine, medical, bio- and chemo-informatics, and researchers from biomedical ontology design and engineering. The prospects of these meetings are the exchange of shared resources, the integration of existing resources and training in novel approaches and solutions.
