2nd Call for Papers
            
Semantic Mining Conference on SNOMED CT
        
October 1-3, 2006, Copenhagen, Denmark
http://www.hiww.org/smcs2006/ 

Conference organized by

The EU Network of Excellence
SEMANTIC INTEROPERABILITY AND DATA MINING IN BIOMEDICINE 
(SemanticMining)
National Board of Health (Denmark)

The vision of a universal clinical terminology, covering a broad range
of health-related domains and meeting the needs of all health
professionals has stimulated numerous health informatics research
activities in the last two decades. During this period, SNOMED grew
from a pathology-centered vocabulary to a comprehensive clinical
terminology. SNOMED Clinical Terms (CT), is the result of a joint
development between the UK NHS and the College of American
Pathologists (CAP). Some countries and organizations have already
licenced SNOMED CT, and there is an increasing awareness of SNOMED
development and implementation all over the world. Still there are
only few prototypical implementations of SNOMED CT in clinical
settings, and there are many concerns about the feasibility of such a
comprehensive terminology as basis for the whole health delivery
process.
The First Conference on Experiences with SNOMED CT in Europe,
organized by the EU Network of Excellence SemanticMining will be the
first European forum for health policy makers, clinicians, nurses,
system developers, computer scientists, terminologists and
translators.
A number of invited speakers will provide an overview of current
efforts and developments in the context of SNOMED CT.
The Scientific Program Committee invites research papers, posters and
demonstrations, addressing the following topics:

- Formal and ontological aspects of SNOMED CT
- Mapping between SNOMED CT and legacy terminologies and classifications
- Partial/local use of SNOMED
- SNOMED and the Electonic Health Record
- Terminology Maintenance
- SNOMED and nursing terminology
- SNOMED and the UMLS
- SNOMED support for Coding and epidemiology
- Issue of Pre-Coordination
- SNOMED Viewers and Browsing tools
- European-wide interoperability
- Translation issues
- Terminology and standards
- Clinical use cases
- SNOMED in life science research
