KREAM - ICCS workshop
Computational science techniques require in many cases models and representations of knowledge for the complex processes supporting research in the different fields, and complex models are also required to capture the research context itself. This has resulted in the development of ontologies, metadata schemas and other kinds of models that are shared, reused and enriched for computational science tasks continuously. Relevant examples are scientific ontologies as the Gene Ontology or the Plant Ontology and metadata schemas as the Ecological Metadata Language (EML), but many other models that are less used are regularly used in computational science research.

MTSR
MTSR conferences aims at the dissemination of research results and reports of practical applications about metadata in a broad sense, including Semantic Web annotations using ontologies. But it also covers topics related to thesauri, classifications or other kinds of knowledge organization systems. The conference welcomes both theoretical and applied or empirical research, including reporting on schemas, models and ontologies that advance the state of the art from the previous ones. MTSR advocates the "Metadata Web" concept, in which metadata in a broad sense is considered the fabric of a sustainable and useful Web.

ONTOSE
The Workshop focuses on the intersection of disciplines and in the aspects related to ontologies, models and epistemological issues. It complements the conference orientation by emphasizing multi-disciplinary and philosophical issues, and focusing on Information Systems. It complements the main conference by emphasizing modelling and ontological issues which are appearing in advanced Information Systems that require complex and interoperable models for their functioning.

OPEN HEALTH SPAIN
OPEN Health is the first channel and discipline neutral agency in the health communications sector. OPEN Health is designed for purpose, and brings together a number of handpicked senior level experts from all major disciplines (advertising, brand development, medical communications, public relations and market research) to head up our core practices.

SPDECE
SPDECE's aim is to offer a frame opened specialists in computer science and pedagogy to debate on the advances in the application of the new technologies to the area of the education, including such aspects as the new processes of education and learning, standards of contents and metadatos, objects and design of learning and didactic materials in digital format.
