Ghent, Belgium. Co-located with ECCB10
The workshop presents the state of the art in extraction and reuse of genotype-phenotype information. Annotation of mutations with their impact on phenotypic expression is crucial to understanding genetic mechanisms involved in phenotypic processes and ultimately in complex
diseases. Managing this knowledge is key to generating novel hypotheses. Despite the existence of literature and databases describing impacts of mutations, association studies fail to deliver linkage to phenotypes which is the most important contemporary research interest. Extraction of such information from scientific literature is a promising research field and existing solutions are ready to be deployed as services and as semantic web services.

Shanghai, China
The 1st International Workshop on Semantic Repositories for the Web (SERES 2010) will be held at the 9th International Semantic Web Conference in Shanghai, China on November 7, 2010.
Ontologies and Linked Data vocabularies are being actively developed and used by numerous applications. Several domains are making their vocabularies available for others to reuse. In addition, good practices when developing ontologies are often followed, particularly for producing reusable modules. The Semantic Web is a modular and highly federated environment of reusable knowledge sources; these provide the meaning so that SW applications change our experience of the web. Within this context, the need for repositories delivering the added value that makes the SW a concrete step beyond our current experience of the web is palpable. SERES addresses issues around semantic repositories within the context of the SW.
Natasha Noy and Peter Yim will be the keynote speakers.

The 2nd International Workshop on the Role of Semantic Web in Provenance Management (SWPM 2010) will be held at the 9th International Semantic Web Conference in Shanghai, China on November 7, 2010.
The growing eScience infrastructure is enabling scientists to generate scientific data on an industrial scale. Similarly, using the Web as the platform, the Linked Open Data (LOD) initiative has created a vast amount of information that can be leveraged by Semantic Web application in a variety of real world scenarios. The importance of managing various forms of metadata has long been recognized as critical in the Semantic Web. In this workshop we focus specifically on metadata that describes the origins of the data. The term provenance from the French word “provenir”, meaning “to come from", describes the lineage or origins of a data entity. Provenance metadata is essential to correctly interpret the results of a process execution, to validate data processing tools, to verify the quality of data, and to associate measures of trust to the data. The primary objective of this workshop is two-fold, (1) to explore the role of Semantic Web in addressing some of the critical challenges facing provenance management and (2) the role of provenance in real world Semantic Web applications.
Deborah McGuinness, RPI will be a keynote speaker.
