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Demner-Fushman, National Library of Medicine Submissions Papers must describe original, completed or in progress, and unpublished work.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.
