Networks as a means to portray biosystems: issues and solutions
The value of data on any biological system is greatly increased if formalized and represented in a structured computer database. Such representation provides a wide spectrum of capabilities to analyze and to share the information between experts all over the world and to integrate this data with other information resources of the same domain. Since ecology is an essentially synthetic science, multidisciplinary research is a necessity. However, what happens is that individuals working in different fields stick to their respective paradigms and terminology, which leads to confusion in terminology and hampers comparison. In this paper, a formal ontological description of the structural and functional organization of ecosystems (which all together comprise the knowledge domain) is considered. The approach allows dealing with possible dynamics/development/evolution of the ecosystems and with development of a software package aimed at collection and operation with bio-system models (genenetworks and econetworks).
