Biomedical Ontologies have developed in an uncoordinated way, often reflecting mere relations of 'association' between what are called 'concepts', and serving primarily the purposes of information extraction from on-line biomedical literature and databases. In this track we will broadly cover current research on development biomedical ontologies, and various issues in biomedical informatics addressed by these ontologies. Track will consist of papers in a biomedical informatics sub discipline, refereed by international program committee. Papers selected for this special track should report on significant unpublished work suitable for publication as a conference paper.
