Both Medicine and Healthcare are areas undergoing phenomenal growth,
holding much promise for our future provided we can manage and apply
the new knowledge gained without driving up costs.
As one of the key technologies to their success, many organizations
are now exploring the use of Semantic Web technologies
in the hope of easing the effort of heterogeneous data integration and
reuse of data in unanticipated ways,
simplifying the annotation and sharing of findings, expressing rich
and well-defined models for search,
and facilitating the implementation of logic to infer additional insights.

Aims of the Conference
++++++++++++++++++++++

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners in areas of Medicine,
Healthcare, Life Sciences, and Semantic Web to share their visions,
research achievements,
and solutions to real applications, to resolve challenging issues,
and to establish worldwide cooperative research and development.

+++++++++++++++++
Topics of Interest
+++++++++++++++++

The aim of this workshop is to cover all aspects that relate to
research and practical issues
of Semantic Web Technologies for Life Sciences, Medicine and Healthcare.
The areas of interest in support tool, application, and service
perspectives, include but are not limited to

• Ontology Modeling and Integration
• Knowledge Discovery, Representation and Management
• Biomedical Applications of Semantic Web Technologies
