We welcome original contributions to the program, covering the use of semantic technologies across the life sciences and healthcare spectrum. We welcome original research, experiences, position papers and this year also “data in use” submissions.
Topics of interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Semantic Web and Data Centric Infrastructures and Resources in Healthcare and Life Science
- Architectures and algorithms to support volume and scale, rapid knowledge changes and heterogeneity
- Semantic querying, data validation languages, knowledge graphs, rule-based systems.
- Infrastructures supporting provenance, traceability, trust and reproducibility
- Information visualization and exploratory analysis methods
- Biomedical ontologies, rules and medical standards for interoperability
- Semantic workflow technologies and semantic web services applied in life sciences.
- Semantic Web technologies in FAIR data and open data ecosystems
- Semantic scientific publishing in the life sciences, medicine and healthcare, public health
- Semantic infrastructures for patient-centric healthcare data ecosystems
Knowledge representation, Semantic Web and AI in Healthcare and the Life Sciences
- Explainable AI and semantics
- Ontology based neural symbolic reasoning and learning
- Machine learning and data mining methods for Semantic Web data
- Knowledge-driven ML and data mining
- NLP and text mining using semantic technologies
- Clinical Intelligence from Electronic Health Records (EHRs), patient data and clinical trial data
Semantic Web and FAIR data applications across Healthcare and Life Science Communities
- Semantic Web and FAIR data in translational medicine and personalized medicine
- Semantic Web and FAIR data in drug discovery and drug repurposing
- Semantic Web and FAIR data in bioimaging
- Semantic Web and FAIR data in agriculture, food and nutrition
- Semantic Web and FAIR data in biodiversity
- Semantic Web and FAIR for SARS-CoV-2
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference/workshop. We welcome the following type of contributions: long papers (introducing novel research contributions), negative results, short papers (presenting early results or work in progress), position papers (introducing an idea and discussion around it), demo papers (presenting tools, software, applications, etc.), posters, “data in use” (showcase of federated queries over multiple “FAIR” datasets). Submissions will be evaluated by at least three members of the Programme Committee.
- All submissions will be handled via EasyChair, submit yours here.
- All papers and posters must be in English and submitted in pdf using the one-column variant of CEURART style. Submissions can also be LNCS format but will need to be converted for the camera-ready version
- Submissions for long papers (including negative results) must be a maximum of 10 pages.
- Submissions for short papers and position papers must be a maximum of 5 pages.
- Submissions for demos, posters abstract and “data in use” must be a maximum of two pages.
We welcome a “data in use” paper describing a SPARQL endpoint, RDF dataset or OWL ontology this year. The paper should include:
- How the SPARQL endpoint/dataset/OWL ontology may be used and reused,
- Interoperability with other SPARQL endpoints/datasets/OWL ontologies,
- The life science/healthcare/chemistry/agriculture use cases for the dataset,
- A SPARQL/OWL query demonstrating a use case, and
- Demonstration of a federated query connecting the proposed dataset with a publicly available one.
Publication
Accepted papers will be part of the proceedings of the CEUR conference proceedings and will be publicly available under CC-by 4.0 license.
