SeWeBMeDA 2022 : SeWeBMeDA 2022 : 5th International workshop on Semantic Web solutions for large-scale biomedical data analytics

5th online workshop on Semantic Web solutions for large-scale biomedical data analytics
co event with The Extended Semantic Web Conference-2022 (https://2022.eswc-conferences.org/)


This workshop seeks original contributions describing theoretical and practical methods and techniques that present the anatomy of large scale linked data infrastructure, which covers: the distributed infrastructure to consume, store and query large volumes of heterogeneous linked data; using indexes and graph aggregation to better understand large linked data graphs, query federation to mix internal and external data-sources, and linked data visualisation tools for health care and life sciences. It will further cover topics around data integration, data profiling, data curation, querying, knowledge discovery, ontology mapping / matching / reconciliation and data / ontology visualisation, applications / tools / technologies / techniques for life sciences and biomedical domain. SeWeBMeDA aims to provide researchers in biomedical and life science, an insight and awareness about large scale data technologies for linked data, which are becoming increasingly important for knowledge discovery in the life sciences domain.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies in the following areas:

Techniques for analyzing semantic data in the life sciences, medicine and health care
Integration, analysis & data use in pursuit of challenges in the life sciences, medicine & health
Tools and applications for biomedical and life sciences
Large scale biomedical data curation and integration
Processing biomedical data at scale
Knowledge representation and knowledge discovery for biomedical data
Data and metadata publishing, profiling and new datasets in biomedical and life sciences
Question answering over biomedical & life science Linked Data, Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs
Querying and federating data over heterogeneous data sources
Biomedical ontology creation, mapping/ matching/ translation and reconciliation
Biomedical Ontology and data visualization
Building and maintaining biomedical knowledge graphs
Machine learning with biomedical knowledge graphs
Virtual and Augmented Reality in Biomedical/ Life Science education and applications
Risks and opportunities of using Semantic Web technologies in Healthcare and Life science
Data resources, tools and technologies relevant for research in ongoing Covid19 pandemic
Cleaning, quality assurance & provenance of data, services & processes in Biomedical/ Life Science
Knowledge Graphs and Relational Learning for Life Sciences
Intelligent Visualizations of Linked Life Science Data
Biomedical data quality assessment and improvement
From Semantics to Explanations in bio medicine and life science
Data streams, Internet of Things, mobile platforms, cloud environment in life science
Text analysis, text mining and reasoning using semantic technologies
New technologies and exploitation of existing ones in Linked Data and Semantic Web
Social, ethical and moral issues publishing and consuming biomedical and life sciences data
