 1st Call for Papers: Semantic Chemistry with the Resource Description Framework
 (CINF Symposium, ACS Autumn 2010)
 240th ACS National Meeting & Exposition
 We now invite papers for our symposium on the use of the Resource Description
 Framework (RDF) technologies in semantic knowledge representation and data
 exchange in chemistry at the 240th National Meeting & Exposition of the
 American
 Chemical Society (ACS) in Boston this fall.
 Semantic Chemistry has been around for a while, but is seeing a revival with
 the adoption of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and matching
 technologies in chemistry. RDF triples provide a simple structure that allow
 data and knowledge alike to be presented in a single framework. Derived
 technologies include the capturing of ontologies with the Web Ontology
 Language (OWL) and performing queries with SPARQL. A wide variety of free and
 open source product make it easy to set up servers with large amounts of RDF
 data, while integration with HTML is available too with RDFa.
 The RDF symposium at the 240th ACS national meeting in Boston invites
 submissions of talks about the use of RDF in chemistry and cheminformatics.
 Topics could include the use of OWL ontologies, OWL axioms, reasoning and
 interference, RDF in user interfaces, such as RDFa in web front ends,
 visualization, querying systems, and applications thereof, such as linking
 data sets, compound classification, cloud computing, web services, data
 aggregation, semantic publishing, and literature mining.
 Abstracts may be submitted via http://abstracts.acs.org. You’ll find the
 RDF session as part of the CINF division symposiums. Submissions open January
 25, 2010, and the deadline is March 28, 2010. In case of questions, please email
 Egon Willighagen at egon.willighagen*farmbio.uu.se or Martin Braendle at
 braendle*chem.ethz.ch.
