---------------------------------------------------- CALBC workshop (19/20 April 2010, EBI, Cambridge, U.K)
The CALBC project has the task of the "Collaborative Annotation of a large-scale biomedical corpus". The current corpus contains 100,000 Medline abstracts and has been annotated with genes/proteins, chemical entities, medical diseases and species:
- 11 teams (plus 4 project partners) participated - 18 (plus 4) annotated corpora were contributed
The workshop forms a forum to discuss the outcomes of the challenge and to gain insights into the making of the corpus. Furthermore, the workshop will be used to present the ongoing work of participants and to discuss the setup of the second challenge and the exploitation of the annotated corpus in the Semantic Web.
Keynotes talks: - Yves Lussier, MD (The University of Chicago): Biomedical knowledge discovery - M. Scott Marshall, PhD (Leiden University Medical Center): Literature in the Semantic Web
Registration is open, the workshop is free of additional charge except for a contribution to the evening dinner.
Location: European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, Cambridge, U.K. Date: 19/20 April 2010 For any further questions, please contact Kerstin Hornbostel mailto:kerstin.hornbostel at uni-jena.de or Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann mailto:Rebholz at ebi.ac.uk
