   references). These submissions are expected to present comprehensive,
   mature research findings, including in-depth theoretical or practical
   insights.
   - *Short papers* should be a *maximum of 6 pages* (excluding
   references). These submissions can include preliminary findings, innovative
   ideas, or position papers that aim to spark discussion and exploration.

References are not included in the page count, so authors may add
additional pages for relevant citations if needed. This flexibility allows
authors to fully reference foundational and related work to strengthen the
context and impact of their research.

   - Submissions should follow the guidelines of IOS Press. Details are
   available at *https://www.iospress.com/book-article-instructions*.
   <https://www.iospress.com/book-article-instructions>
   - Authors need to use the *Word template*
   <https://www.iospress.com/sites/default/files/media/files/2022-06/ECRC-Author-Instructions-and-tools-Word.zip>
   or *LaTeX* <https://vtex-soft.github.io/texsupport.IOS-Book-Article/>
   template provided by IOS Press. Overleaf users can copy the project *from
   here* <https://www.overleaf.com/read/gkkspcvjgwxv#563836> (follow
   instructions in the abstract).
   - Abstract submission is mandatory for all papers. To aid the review and
   bidding process, we highly encourage authors to submit structured
   abstracts.
   - All papers and abstracts have to be submitted electronically via
   EasyChair.
   - Submissions must be in English.
   - Submissions must adhere to the fair use of Large Language Models.
   Please refer to the SEMANTiCS *full policy*
   <https://2025-eu.semantics.cc/page/llm-policy> for more details.
   - Submissions must be anonymous; the reviewing process is double-blind,
   but reviewers will be able to disclose their identities if they wish, by
   signing their reviews.
   - Accepted papers will be published in open access proceedings by IOS
   Press, and the text of all the reviews (excluding the scores) of all the
   accepted papers will be posted on the conference website and will be
   archived on Zenodo as publicly available material.
   - At least one author of each accepted paper must present it in person
   and therefore register for the conference at the ONSITE rate.
   - All authors are strongly suggested to provide optional links to code,
   materials, and datasets during the submission process - we will have
   specific optional fields in the EasyChair submission form - the review
   process will take these into account when provided. To anonymise resources
   for the reviewing process, authors can use services like *Anonymous
   GitHub* <https://anonymous.4open.science/> or figshare/Zenodo as
   described *here*

   - The Research and Innovation Track will not accept papers that, at the
   time of submission, are under review or have already been published in or
   accepted for publication in a journal or another conference.
   - All authors will have the opportunity to provide an ORKG comparison in
   the Open Research Knowledge Graph (*https://orkg.org* <https://orkg.org>)
   during the submission process - we will have a specific optional field in
   the EasyChair submission form.

Review and Evaluation Criteria

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three Programme Committee
members. The reviewing process is double-blind. However, reviewers can
disclose their identity by signing their reviews and/or adding one of their
persistent identifiers (e.g. their ORCID).

The text of all the reviews (excluding the scores) of all the accepted
papers will be posted on the conference website with the basic
bibliographic metadata of the reviewed submission (i.e. title and authors),
and it will be archived on Zenodo as publicly available material. All the
signed reviews of the accepted papers will be licensed using a Creative
Commons Attribution license (CC-BY, the copyright holder will be the
reviewer), except the anonymous ones that will be released in CC0.

Papers submitted to this track will be evaluated according to the following
criteria:

   - Appropriateness
   - Originality, novelty, and innovativeness
   - Impact of results
   - Technical quality of the methods

hands-on sessions, hackathons and other practical formats where applicable.
Rooms for business or project meetings are available upon request as well.
*Scope and Goals*

Workshops and tutorials at SEMANTiCS 2025 allow your organization or
project to advance and promote your topics and gain increased visibility.
The workshops and tutorials will be announced on the SEMANTiCS website, and
they will be seen by all participants. SEMANTiCS 2025 workshops and
tutorials can be incubators for industrial and scientific communities that
form and share a particular research and development agenda, and they will
provide a forum for presenting contributions and findings to a diverse and
knowledgeable community. Furthermore, the event can be used as a
dissemination activity in the scope of large research projects or as a
closed format for research/commercial project consortia meetings.
*Proceedings*

Workshop papers will be published in the SEMANTiCS side event proceedings
through CEUR. Side events proceedings will include posters & demos and
contributions from workshops.
*Setup and Requirements*

SEMANTiCS 2025 workshops and tutorials may be either half or full-day long.
Workshops and tutorials take place on the days before and/or after the main
SEMANTiCS 2025 EU conference (03th of September 2025). Further details will
be communicated in due time.

Organizers of workshops and tutorials will be granted three free tickets
(only for the workshop & tutorial day) for organization purposes or
keynotes. Participants of workshops and tutorials will only be charged a
reduced fee to cover the basic costs.

Workshop and tutorial proposals must include the following information:

   -

   outline of the *themes and goals of the event*, including a title and a
   brief abstract (less than 200 words) intended for the SEMANTiCS 2025

[Peter C. <p.j...@go...>]

Well done Scott - I was following some of this effort on Mastodon, having
made similar efforts although not on quite the same scale with various OBF
MediaWiki sites. And best wishes for your new role; you can be very proud
of what you have helped GMOD to achieve!

Re: [GMOD-devel] [Gmod-gbrowse] Server change for gmod.org and an announcement

[Fields, C. J <cjf...@il...>]

Hi Scott, I just wanted to say a tremendous ‘thank you’ for essentially leading GMOD efforts over the last 20+ years.  Wow, has it been that long!?! (I’m getting old).  You should be incredibly proud of the work you and all GMOD projects and developers have accomplished; it’s a tremendous accomplishment.

Hope to see you still out there somewhere in the open-bio world, and best of luck on your next steps in your career!

Best,

Chris

Subject: [Gmod-gbrowse] Server change for gmod.org and an announcement
Hello all,

For several years, I've wanted to port the gmod.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/gmod.org__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtXG8hWZg$> MediaWiki instance to something else but was daunted by the task. Events have finally conspired to force me to do it, so I've spent the last month porting the content at gmod.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/gmod.org__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtXG8hWZg$> to a github.io<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/github.io__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtQUw79P0$> hosted page. It was a real slog, but thank goodness for recursive wget, Pandoc and command line Perl to allow me to change thousands of markdown files at a time.

Since gmod.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/gmod.org__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtXG8hWZg$> is now hosted at github.io<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/github.io__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtQUw79P0$>, changes to this page can now be made with commits to the https://github.com/GMOD/gmod.github.io<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/GMOD/gmod.github.io__;!!DZ3fjg!52Q62W3iW7xVMDtjuX8aI0ERASShyuFSzx1QhGHzTs0rUDwEQEseN2Y1pAcT-BvCXZ256zzVDXLtU5TvTYs$> repo.

AND NOW THE ANNOUNCEMENT

At the end of July, I will be stepping away from my role as GMOD project coordinator, which on one hand, makes me very sad, but on the other, fills me with immense pride in what we as the GMOD community have achieved over the last 22 years. We have truly democratized organism genomics, allowing a small lab to distribute data on whatever organisms are of interest to them with (relatively) little effort. We can compare that to the MODs that existed in the early aughts, that had staffs of many software developers to make the same thing happen. We all did that, and I think the world is a better place for it.

I can't say yet where I'm going, as I have a few opportunities on the table that haven't been finalized, but I hope to be fulfilling a similar role in another community.  If you're really interested, you can follow me on Mastodon at @sco...@ge...cial.

Thank you to all of you--I have really enjoyed working with and growing this community,
Scott

[GMOD-devel] Server change for gmod.org and an announcement

[Scott C. <sc...@sc...>]

Hello all,

For several years, I've wanted to port the gmod.org MediaWiki instance to
something else but was daunted by the task. Events have finally conspired
to force me to do it, so I've spent the last month porting the content at
gmod.org to a github.io hosted page. It was a real slog, but thank goodness
for recursive wget, Pandoc and command line Perl to allow me to change
thousands of markdown files at a time.

Since gmod.org is now hosted at github.io, changes to this page can now be
made with commits to the https://github.com/GMOD/gmod.github.io repo. That
means that fixes and additions can be made by creating and editing markdown
files in the gmod.github.io repo and merging the changes into the main
branch.

AND NOW THE ANNOUNCEMENT

At the end of July, I will be stepping away from my role as GMOD project
coordinator, which on one hand, makes me very sad, but on the other, fills
me with immense pride in what we as the GMOD community have achieved over
the last 22 years. We have truly democratized organism genomics, allowing a
small lab to distribute data on whatever organisms are of interest to them
with (relatively) little effort. We can compare that to the MODs that
existed in the early aughts, that had staffs of many software developers to
make the same thing happen. We all did that, and I think the world is a
better place for it.

I can't say yet where I'm going, as I have a few opportunities on the table
that haven't been finalized, but I hope to be fulfilling a similar role in
another community.  If you're really interested, you can follow me on
Mastodon at @sco...@ge...cial.

Thank you to all of you--I have really enjoyed working with and growing
this community,

About BOSC

The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference promotes and facilitates the open
source development of bioinformatics tools and open science. Since 2000,
BOSC has provided a forum for developers and users to interact and share
research results and ideas in open source bioinformatics and open science.
BOSC’s broad spectrum of topics includes practical techniques for solving
bioinformatics problems; software development practices; standards and
ontologies; approaches that promote open science and sharing of data,
results and software; and ways to grow open source communities while
promoting diversity within them.
As usual, BOSC will include keynote talks, longer and shorter (lightning)
talks from submitted abstracts, posters, Birds of a Feather, and more!

New this year: Joint session with Bio-Ontologies
<https://www.open-bio.org/2022/03/03/bosc-and-bio-ontologies-joint-session/>
!
We are excited to announce that BOSC and Bio-Ontologies
<https://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/ismb-annual-meeting> will join forces
for part of a day at ISMB 2022. The joint session will feature keynote
speaker Melissa Haendel as well as talks chosen from abstracts submitted to
BOSC or Bio-Ontologies.

Keynote Speakers <https://open-bio.org/events/bosc-2022/bosc-2022-keynotes>

Melissa Haendel is the Chief Research Informatics Officer at University of
Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and Director of the Center for Data to
Health (CD2H). With expertise in molecular genetics and developmental
biology as well as translational informatics, Dr. Haendel focuses on open
science and data integration to improve rare-disease diagnosis and
mechanism discovery. She is a leader in ontologies and standards for data
sharing.

Lior Pachter is the Bren professor of computational biology at Caltech. He
is a Fellow of the International Society of Computational Biology
<https://www.iscb.org/iscb-fellows> and has been awarded a National Science
Foundation CAREER award, a Sloan Research Fellowship His research interests
span the mathematical and biological sciences, including algorithms,
combinatorics, comparative genomics, algebraic statistics, molecular
biology and evolution. Dr. Pachter is known as a vociferous advocate of
open and accountable science.

A third keynote speaker will be announced soon!

Abstract submission

We encourage you to submit abstracts
<https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2022/submit/> (due April 21 – sorry,
no extensions) on any topic relevant to open source bioinformatics or open
science. After review, some abstracts will be selected for lightning talks,
longer talks, or posters. Abstracts that are not chosen for talks will
automatically be considered for posters.

Abstract submission will be via ISMB’s EasyChair. Note that ISMB/ECCB
requires a short (200-word) text-only abstract for all submissions (talk or
poster), plus a “long abstract” (PDF, 2 pages max) if you want to be
considered for a talk. A second, later round of submissions will end May
19. Abstracts submitted in the late round will be considered only for
posters and a limited number of “late-breaking lightning talk” slots; they
are not eligible for longer talks.

Registration fee assistance

We realize that the cost of ISMB may be prohibitive for some. If you are
submitting an abstract to BOSC and would have difficulty covering the cost
of registration, you can request a registration fee waiver right on the
abstract submission form (which will not be seen by reviewers). Those who
are not submitting abstracts can apply for an OBF Event Fellowship
<https://www.open-bio.org/event-awards/> (deadline April 1, 2022).

BOSC topics include (but are not limited to):

   -

   Ontologies: Open Source Tools and Approaches (new this year – joint
   session with Bio-Ontologies COSI <http://www.bio-ontologies.org.uk/>)
   -

   Open Science and Reproducible Research
   -

   Open Biomedical Data
   -

   Citizen/Participatory Science
   -

   Standards and Interoperability
   -

   Data Science
   -

   Workflows
   -

   Open Approaches to Translational Bioinformatics
   -

   Open Science for Global Health
   -

   Developer Tools and Libraries
   -

   Inclusion, Outreach and Training
   -

   Bioinformatics Open Source Project Reports (about new or existing
   projects)
   -

   Open and interoperable ontologies (joint session with Bio-Ontologies
   <https://www.open-bio.org/2022/03/03/bosc-and-bio-ontologies-joint-session/>
   )


We look forward to reading your abstract and seeing you (in person or
virtually) at BOSC 2022!

Sincerely,

BOSC 2022 Organizing Committee: Nomi Harris, Karsten Hokamp, Hervé Ménager,
Monica Munoz-Torres, Deepak Unni, Nicole Vasilevsky, Jason Williams

Re: [GMOD-devel] gmod_bulk_load_gff3.pl

[Scott C. <sc...@sc...>]

Oh, I haven't touched this code in a very long time. Did you try what it
suggested (ie, changing the 'defined(@array)' to just '@array')?

If that doesn't work, I'll have to set up a fresh dev environment to work
on this, which may take a little time.  Are you by any chance using Tripal
too? That might be a "faster" path to getting your data into the database.

[GMOD-devel] gmod_bulk_load_gff3.pl

[leben <821...@ca...>]

When I use this script gmod_load_bulk_gff3.pl , I get an error,like this,


Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/Bio/GMOD/DB/Adapter.pm line 498.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/gmod_bulk_load_gff3.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/gmod_bulk_load_gff3.pl line 13.



This is a perl compilation kernel error that disables defined(@array)


I tried to change Perl to an older version, but it still didn't work. Is there a solution?
