From the Call for Papers:
Since 2008, SWAT4LS is a workshop that has provided a platform for the presentation and discussion of the benefits and limits of applying web-based information systems and semantic technologies in Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology.
Growing steadily each year as Semantic Web applications become more widespread, SWAT4LS has been in Edinburgh 2008, Amsterdam 2009, and Berlin 2010, with London planned for 2011. The last edition of SWAT4LS was held in Berlin, on December 10th, 2010. It was preceded by two days of tutorials and other associated events.
We are confident that the next edition of SWAT4LS will provide the same open and stimulating environment that brought together researchers, both developers and users, from the various fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and Computer Science, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences in the use of Semantic Web technologies in Life Sciences.
Proceedings from earlier workshops:
1st International SWAT4LS Workshop (Edinburgh, 2008)
2nd International SWAT4LS Workshop (Amsterdam, 2009) Be aware that selected papers were revised and extended to appear in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics, Volume 2, Supplement 1.
3rd International SWAT4LS Workshop (Berlin, 2010)
Take it as fair warning, there is a lot of interesting material here. Come prepared to stay a while.
