The BioCreative II.5 workshop on text-mining based extraction of protein-protein interactions in automated environments as well as in assisting the annotation process for authors and DB curators will be held at the

CNIO - Spanish National Cancer Research Centre in Madrid, Spain

from October, 7th, 13:00 CET, to October, 9th, 12:00 CET.

The main focus will be on presenting recent approaches and improvements in PPI data extraction by the participants and the complete evaluation results of BC II.5. In addition, we intend to have discussions and presentations on the online apporach via the BCMS platform and protocol, creating author-annotations via the ENFIN integration plaform, the FEBS Letters Experiments and Structured Digital Abstracts, and providing an environment to connect publishers and text miners.

The exact schedule for the workshop itself and for the creating of the proceedings will be published over the next few weeks, including the registration fees and the list of invited speakers.
