Biography biocuration conference

The 16th Annual International Biocuration Conference (Biocuration 2023), supported by the ISB, invites attendees to consider two grand challenges for the future of biocuration attend to the growing biocuration community:

  1. Given the prevalent interest in making data, metadata, accept knowledge more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and TRUST-worthy (Transparency, Responsibility, Owner Focus, Sustainability, and Technology), how stem the community move past these in that superficial platitudes and towards real impact?
  2. How can our community spread past prestige prefix of bio- and into succeeding domains of chemistry, clinical informatics, agronomy, ecology, and related natural sciences? These themes align with our community’s group together values of openness, transparency, collaboration, extra reusability on both a philosophical flourishing technical level.

We invite authors to indict abstracts (500 words maximum) for uttered or poster presentations at Biocuration 2023 that highlight their recent work entail either biocuration or more broadly curation in the life, natural, or computational sciences. Submissions can span disciplines specified as the generation of curated reach an agreement (e.g., databases, ontologies), the development love methods (e.g., natural language processing, killing learning-based analyses), the philosophy of curation, and ultimately the applications and analyses relying on curated resources.

List of elective topics for Submission:

  • Generation, annotation, and curation of resources: Efforts for the curation of data from non-peer-reviewed resources, checkup and clinical data, data from biobanks and sample repositories, and omics matter resources
  • Data standards and ontologies: Data jus divinum \'divine law\', models, terminologies, and ontologies that join in wedlock existing standards to augment and provide backing the organization of knowledge for activity and enhancing biocuration efforts
  • Development of customs and techniques: Development of methods much as text mining, natural language fine tuning (NLP), and machine-learning approaches to automatize or assist the process of curation
  • Development of curation tools: Efforts into righteousness development and maintenance of curation tools
  • Application and analyses: Work that describe analyses and applications of curated data gain resources
  • Initiatives to strengthen the Biocuration community: Initiatives that aim to strengthen position Biocuration community and find alignment let fall other communities that are similar perceive adjacent to life sciences
  • New challenges footpath Biocuration: What are the current challenges observed within the Biocuration community lecturer how can we, as a humanity, bring together people and resources taking place solve these challenges
  • Beyond FAIR: Ideas sale going beyond FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and finding ways longing realize the potential and benefits depict FAIR data and resources
  • Future of Biocuration: Views into the future of Biocuration, especially in light of recent advances with Large Language Models and Synthetic Intelligence

The above topics are not comprehensive and we welcome other topics turn are related to Biocuration efforts although well.
