[Sue Rhee]

Is anyone interested in writing a book chapter on GO? I don't have the 
time nor energy to do it this year.

Dear Sue,

 

We are editing a book entitled "Data mining applications using 
ontologies in biomedicine", to be published by Artech House. Given your 
expertise on the subject, we would like to invite you and/or your 
co-workers to contribute a chapter to the book. A possible title of your 
chapter may be "Gene Ontology (GO)", especially given your role in the 
GO consortium.

 

The goal of this book is to introduce the cutting-edge developments and 
applications of bio-ontologies, including the theoretical foundations 
and examples of ontologies, applications of ontologies in biomedicine 
(from molecular levels to clinical levels), and technological 
infrastructure for bio-ontologies. We have selected the topics carefully 
(see the proposed chapters in the attachment) so that the book would be 
useful to a broad readership, including students, postdoctoral fellows, 
professional practitioners, as well as bioinformatics/medical 
informatics experts. We expect that the book can be used as a textbook 
for upper undergraduate-level or beginning graduate-level 
bioinformatics/medical informatics courses. We do not assume extensive 
prior knowledge for reading this book. A dedicated reader with a college 
degree in computational, biological or physical science should be able 
to follow the book without much difficulty.

 

Chapters should be written according to the guideline of the publisher 
(see attached Author's guide). We expect that your chapter is around 
7,000 words, together with figures and tables. On the other hand, we 
have some flexibility in terms of the length of your chapter. Completed 
manuscripts should be returned to us by the end of September 2008. If 
you are interested in contributing to the book, please reply as soon as 
possible, and we can discuss the title and what your contribution may 
consists of in more detail. Feel free to suggest alternatives or new 
chapters/authors if you believe an important area has been omitted.

 

 

Best wishes,

 

 

Mihail Popescu and Dong Xu
