[seek-taxon] 5th International Conference on Ecological Informatics

[Kennedy, Jessie]

Hi Matt/Bill

 

We just had a SEEK taxon call and we were discussing the 5th
International Conference on Ecological Informatics and what we should
try and submit for it.

 

Could you please give us some advice....

Is the conference made up of ONLY the list of special sessions announced
on the web site or will it be these special sessions plus other sessions
determined from the abstracts submitted to the conference?

 

If it is only the special sessions then I think that there are only two
sessions that SEEK taxon might submit an abstract to:

 

Ecological applications of meta information concepts and semantic webs

Conveners: Bill Michener (Albuquerque), Matt Jones (Santa Barbara)

Ecological information processing and transfer 

Conveners: Ellen van Donk (Amsterdam), Adam Marsh (Lewes)

 

None of us have ever been to this conference and we hope that you might
give us some indication of the areas that might be most sensible for
SEEK taxon to try and submit. We were thinking we could submit papers on
the taxonomic concepts model for ecologists, or on the taxonomic object
server, or on the either of the visualisation tools or.....

 

Would it be sensible to pick one (or more) specific topics e.g. the TOS
or to put in a SEEK Taxon perspective paper that we all contribute to?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Jessie
