Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 1st Biomedical Linked Annotation
Hackathon (BLAH2015), which is to take place in Kashiwa-no-ha City,
Japan, 27th February, 2015.
BLAH2015 is being organized to establish community collaboration for a
shared collection of integrated, harmonized, and linked literature
annotation resources in the life sciences.
With various annotated literature data which already exist, and also
ongoing efforts for annotation, we believe it is time to seek linking
of these invaluable resources. It will open a new era of text mining,
enabling us to explore heterogeneous perspectives represented in the
annotations.
For more details of the event, please take a look at the homepage:
http://2015.linkedannotation.org/
[Important Dates]
- Submission due: 12th (Fri) Dec, 2014
- Notification: 12th (Mon) Jan, 2014
- Hackathon: 23rd (Mon) - 26th (Thu) Feb, 2015
- Symposium: 27th (Fri) Feb, 2015
[Confirmed Keynote Speakers]
- Lawrence Hunter, University of Colorado
- Pierre Zweigenbaum, LIMSI-CNRS
For the event, we calls for three types of contributions.
1. Call for proposals
We solicit extended abstracts of proposals (up to 1000 words with
figures and tables) to present innovative use cases of linked
annotation resources. Particularly, biologically or medically
meaningful use cases which cannot be achieved using single annotation
data sets are desired. Submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted
ones will be presented in the symposium, included in the proceedings
and invited to the co-authorship of joint papers.
2. Call for annotation data sets
We solicit annotation data sets that have been made to PubMed or
PubMed Central (open access subset) articles. Contributed annotations
will be aligned with others, and will be openly provided to the public
for investigation. Also, all the annotations will be indexed using
semantic web technology and will become searchable and accessible
through SPARQL and REST API. Being aligned with others, any annotation
data set will find a significantly improved value of its own (like any
document linked with others in WWW). The contributors will retain the
full credit and full right over their data sets. Any usage of the data
sets will be asked to make proper citations.
Prospective contributors are asked to submit a description of the data
sets (1-2 pages) which have to present
- how the based texts are collected
- how the annotations are developed, e.g., manually or automatically
- a small piece of example and a detailed description of it
- reference to relevant publications or web pages if any
- license policy (in terms of creative commons, hopefully)
Successful contributions will be listed in the Hackathon homepage and
in the joint paper. Expected type of annotation may include, but not
limited to:
- Manual or automatic annotations
- Semantic or syntactic annotations
- Bio-medical or clinical annotations
3. Call for tools
We also solicit tools and systems to be integrated in the hackathon
environment. Prospective contributors will have to collaborate with
the organizers to make their tools inter-operable with other tools
(mainly through REST API and JSON). Successful contributions will be
provided to the participants (and also to the public), listed in the
hackathon homepage and in the joint paper. Any usage of the tools
will be asked to make proper citations. The contributors will retain
full credit and right over their tools and systems. The contributors
will retain full credit and right over their tools and systems.
Expected type of contribution will include, but not limited to:
- Visualization
- Analysis
- Format conversion
- Mining
Prospective contributors are asked to submit a description of the
tools (1-2 pages) with reference to relevant publications if any.
Successful contributions must
- be web-based applications,
- guarantee free access without restriction by the public,
: open-source software is desired.
- provide RESTful APIs for programmable access, and
- provide online comprehensive documentation.
We look forward a wide participation from the community.
