The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from Web search, Information Retrieval, Knowledge Representation, and Biomedical Informatics, to present and discuss the latest methods and results in biomedical information and knowledge extraction, representation, integration, analysis and retrieval. The distinguishing feature of this workshop is its focus on leveraging semantics-based techniques for biomedical literature analysis and retrieval. This further means that it puts rigorous attention on semantics-based techniques that allow for the creation, analysis, and integration of biomedical knowledge bases, with the ultimate objective of employing such knowledge bases for literature-based knowledge discovery, improving search performance over biomedical literature, or enhancing biomedical information extraction.

The workshop is co-located with The Web Conference (the International World Wide Web (WWW2022) Conference).
