1st International Workshop on
Database Challenges in Biodiversity Informatics (DCIBI-09) 2nd September 2009 In conjunction with 20th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA ?09) www.dexa.org University of Linz, Austria 31st August - 4th September 2009 ===== With the increasing international concern about biodiversity loss and other biodiversity-related issues, there are significant Biodiversity Informatics challenges associated with assisting biodiversity researchers in their work. Particular problems include heterogeneity; the interdisciplinary nature of Biodiversity Informatics; conflicts of expert opinion (e.g. in classification); tracking data provenance; and management of ?sensitive data?. In this workshop we shall concentrate on current database- and data-related challenges. This international workshop follows on from a national workshop held in Cardiff, UK, in 2008 entitled ?Biodiversity Informatics: challenges in modelling and managing biodiversity knowledge?. Scope ===== Papers on all aspects of modelling and managing biodiversity data and knowledge are invited. Possible topics include: Interoperation of biodiversity systems Biodiversity data quality Supporting the taxonomic process Modelling biodiversity concepts Unique identifiers for data Data provenance Biodiversity ontologies Managing sensitive data Modelling multiple, conflicting expert opinions & supporting information retrieval using such models This list is not intended to be exhaustive or to exclude papers that do not fall into one or more of the above categories. Submission ========== Original papers of up to 5 pages are invited in IEEE format: http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format by 15th March 2009 via the DEXA'09 ConfDriver: http://confdriver.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/ Each paper submission received will be subject to peer review by three members of the programme committee. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop and will be published in an IEEE proceedings volume of the DEXA 2009 workshops. Organisers ========== Andrew C. Jones (Chair) and Richard J. White (Co-Chair), Cardiff University, UK.
