Journal of Biomedical Semantics
http://www.jbiomedsem.com/

Journal of Biomedical Semantics is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal soon to be launched by BioMed Central. Journal of Biomedical Semantics encompasses all aspects of semantic resources (e.g. ontologies, taxonomies, terminologies, data, knowledge and service repositories, literature, reasoning systems) and their use in data integration, mining, modeling, interpretation and exploitation in biomedical research. The journal aims to provide the community of biomedical semantics specialists and general researchers a forum for communication on knowledge representations and on the results of semantics driven analyses. Journal of Biomedical Semantics will publish high quality research focused on the biomedical domain, addressing computational methods, infrastructure and resources needed to support semantic mining and enrichment. It will serve researchers who exploit semantics resources and reasoning to facilitate data and knowledge integration into the biomedical research infrastructure. The journal will also provide a place for dissemination of results on the semantic web research in the domain of life sciences. As an interdisciplinary forum, the journal will addresses practical and theoretical advances in applying knowledge-based and semantics-driven approaches to biomedical research. Topical areas include (but are not limited to): a) Design, development and maintenance of semantic resources; b) Semantic infrastructure development and access to data; c) Semantic enrichment, mining and annotation of biomedical data; d) Automatic semantics-driven analysis and reasoning in biomedicine; and e) Exploitation and impact of semantics on biomedical research.
