Workshop on Semantic Web Applications in Scientific Discourse

The W3C HCLS Interest Group has now finalized the agenda for the Workshop on Scientific Discourse at ISWC 2009. David Shotton (University of Oxford) has kindly agreed to give a keynote presentation on Enabling Semantic Publication and Integration of Scientific Information. There will be a panel on Scientific Communication in 2010 with panelists including Olivier Bodenreider (NLM), Matt Day (Nature), Anita de Waard (Elsevier), Maryann Martonne (UCSD), and Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann (EBI). The workshop has accepted nine peer reviewed papers covering topics such as the analysis of biomedical texts, ontologies for scientific discourse representation, and tools for sharing data, workflows and ontologies.
