Summary/Abstract: There are various approaches to ontology metamodelling, and the notion of biologically inspired modular knowledge representation systems can provide insight in the workings of such phenomena as emergent properties of network structures. What is more relevant from knowledge engineering standpoint, such approach could provide innovation and enhancement of the level of ex‐ pression as well as overall functionality of modular ontologies. To do so, one needs to nd biological structures that would be the basis for modularity on different levels of hierarchy within the arti cial system. Network analysis tools as well as systems biology and biocomputing provide a framework for research in this eld.
