FAIR principles of Ontology Harmonization and support of TRUST data Interoperability - FOHTI-2022
This is call for papers as part of a half day workshop before the main days of the ICBO 2022: International Conference on Biomedical Ontology. The workshop will be held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI,September 26, (Monday before the main days of the conference) 2022.
The ICBO Main conference: September 27-28, 2022 will be held in a hybrid format that includes both in-person and virtual participation and is part of the Michigan Week of Ontology and Semantic Web.
We invite academic, industrial, government, and organizations to submit short or long papers on the topic of FAIR ontology harmonization and TRUST data interoperability.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers (6-10 pages) due July 26, notification August 12 describing thoughts and work the topic of FAIR principles of ontology harmonization and support of TRUST data interoperability.
- Short papers up to 5 pages due July 26, notification August 12 describing thoughts and work the topic of FAIR principles of ontology harmonization and support of TRUST data interoperability.
See below for more on this topic:
- Many diverse ontologies and increasingly Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and other semantic resources have been developed across the biomedical and other domains. Although they are developed and used for specific needs, It is possible to align common knowledge and data across many domains at a higher level. To avoid repetitive model and represent the common knowledge from different groups/organizations, it is desirable to develop some consensus on a range of relevant semantic resources. Many types of these semantic resources exist along a semantic ladder/ spectrum such as structured vocabularies, but also the high levels of domain ontologies to support a wide range of use cases. A relevant context for this work is that Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse (FAIR) principle and the Transparency, Responsibility, User Focus, Sustainability (TRUST) principle have been established and accepted by the global scientific community for digital objects. Can two principles also be applied to ontologies and other semantic resources which support ample opportunities for data discovery, trust, sharing, reuse and value of various datasets; as well as enabling wide access to dataset quality information? To accomplish all these goals at the data level, FAIR and TRUSTworthy ontology harmonization is an important first step. This workshop aims to look for examples, technologies, and methodologies utilized for developing FAIR ontology and harmonization, as well as to discuss how harmonization across the semantic spectrum will facilitate data interoperability and the TRUST principle. We aim to involve the community to develop, improve and disseminate best practices for harmonizing semantic resources at all levels.
Workshop submissions should be formatted according to the CEUR-Template-2col.docx template (download file).Submissions to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics should follow their guidelines.
