Ontology and Biomedical Informatics
An International Conference organized by the Network of
Excellence Semantic Interoperability and Data Mining in Biomedicine
under the auspices of Working Group 6 of the International Medical Informatics
Association
IMIA Working Group 6 was formed in 1981 with the task
of reviewing health data nomenclature and classification needs for the international
community. Its five conferences to date have brought together international
experts in medical informatics with a focus on clinical terminology, ontology
engineering, natural language processing and datamining. The published
proceedings of these conferences continue to play an influential role in the
development of the field.
The sixth IMIA conference in Rome 2005 will seek to
continue this tradition, reflecting the new age of biomedical informatics. The meeting is designed to foster closer
integration of thinking and effort at an international level and to explore the
fundamental issues at the cutting edge of research in biomedical informatics.
The proceedings of the conference, which will be published in the Journal of Biomedical Informatics, can be
expected to influence the development of robust biomedical ontologies and
terminologies in the future.
