*** THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS ***

2nd Workshop on Building and Evaluating Resources for Biomedical Text 
Mining (BioTxtM 2010)

LREC2010 (Malta, 18th May 2010)
Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta, Malta

http://www.nactem.ac.uk/biotxtm/

** IMPORTANT DATES **
FEBRUARY 10, 2010      Paper submissions due
MARCH 5, 2010        Paper notification of acceptance
MARCH 12, 2010        Camera-ready papers due
MAY 18,  2010          Workshop

We invite papers reporting on biomedical resources specifically used to 
facilitate biomedical text mining and the process of designing, 
building, updating, delivering and evaluating them. The goals of the 
workshop are on lexical and knowledge repositories such as 
terminologies, ontologies, controlled vocabularies, factual databases, 
annotated corpora, but also on design guidelines, standards for building 
resources, storage and exchange formats and interoperability of resources.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Building biomedical resources: controlled vocabularies, terminologies, 
ontologies, corpora
* Guidelines and annotation schemas, challenges, interoperability
* Reengineering existing biomedical or general language resources * 
Update and evolution of resources
* Interoperability of resources and standards
* Lightly annotated and noisy resources
* Tools for exploration of resources
* Data exchange formats
* Evaluation of resources / evaluation metrics


ORGANISATION
*Sophia Ananiadou, National Centre for Text Mining, University of 
Manchester
*Kevin Bretonnel Cohen, Center for Computational Pharmacology, The MITRE 
Corporation
*Dina Demner-Fushman, National Library of Medicine


SUBMISSIONS
Papers must describe original, completed or in progress, and unpublished 
work.  Each submission will be reviewed by two program committee members.
Accepted papers will be given eight pages in the workshop proceedings, 
and may be presented either as a poster or an oral presentation.  Online 
submission for papers: your paper (up to 8 pages) should be formatted 
according to the stylesheet provided on the LREC 2010 website 
(http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2010/?Author-s-Kit-and-Templates)

Please submit your papers electronically in PDF format using the 
following site:

https://www.softconf.com/lrec2010/BioTxtM2010/  
Paper review will be blind, so papers should not include authors' names 
and affiliations. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop 
proceedings.
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to 
provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. 
also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used 
for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research.
