Abstract

We discuss how concepts and methods introduced in mathematical logic can be used to support the engineering and deployment of life science ontologies. The required applications of mathematical logic are not straighforward and we argue that such ontologies provide a new and rich family of logical theories that wait to be explored by logicians.
