<p><span lang="EN-US">AAAI2007's Workshop on Semantic e-Science
(SeS07)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">23 July, 2007, Vancouver, Canada,
co-located with AAAI'07 <a href="http://neuroweb.med.yale.edu/ses2007" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://neuroweb.med.yale.edu/<span id="st" name="st" class="st">ses2007</span>

<p><span lang="EN-US">*******************************************************</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">As semantic technology has been gaining
momentum in various e-Science areas (for </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">example, W3C's new interest group for
semantic web health care and life </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">science), it is important to offer
semantic-based methodologies, tools, </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">middleware to facilitate scientific
knowledge modeling, logical-based hypothesis </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">checking, semantic data integration and
application composition, integrated </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">knowledge discovery and data analyzing for
different e-Science applications.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Partially influenced by the Artificial
Intelligence community, the Semantic Web </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">researchers have largely focused on formal
aspects of semantic representation </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">languages or general-purpose semantic
application development, with inadequate </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">consideration of requirements from specific
science areas. On the other hand, </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">general science researchers are growing
ever more dependent on the web, but they </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">have no coherent agenda for exploring the
emerging trends on the semantic web </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">technologies. It urgently requires the
development of a multi-disciplinary field </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">to foster the growth and development of
e-Science applications based on the </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">semantic technologies and related
knowledge-based approaches. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"><span id="st" name="st" class="st">SeS2007</span> aims to provide an
inter-disciplinary forum for researchers from both </span></p>
