An information management system for managing biochemical information comprises data structures for modelling biochemical entities ( 616 ), categories ( 606 ) and biochemical pathways ( 600 ). Annotations form many-to-many relationships between biochemical entities and categories. The set of categories comprises function categories for describing a function of each biochemical entity associated to the function category. Interactions ( 608 ) model biochemical processes. Each connection ( 604 ) associates a biochemical entity ( 616 ) or a category ( 606 ) to an interaction ( 608 ) and has a connection type ( 610 ), which either substrate, product, controller and outcome. Each connection has a relation to a pathway ( 602 ) and each pathway has a relation to a biochemical location ( 624 ). The information management system further comprises an interpretation logic for interpreting each of several categories as a pathway.
