BioCreative: Critical Assessment of Information Extraction in Biology is a community-wide effort for evaluating text mining and information extraction systems applied to the biological domain. We are happy to announce that we will host BioCreative Workshop 2016 at Corvallis Oregon, USA on August 1-2, 2016, satellite to the International Conference on Biological Ontology (ICBO) 2016. The goal of this workshop is to provide a discussion forum for topics of interest to the BioCreative community and to encourage synergistic interactions with the ontology community.
