During the Bio-matrix summer program two years ago, there was a substantial
amount of work done on representation, particularly on representation of enzyme
function.  I recall seeing a collection of terms (e.g.  binds, catalyzes, etc.)
objects (e.g.  substrate, recombinase) and qualifiers (e.g.  increases,
decreases) mentioned briefly in the final report from the workshop.  I would
like to get in touch with whoever did that work, or with anyone else who has
been working on this crucial problem.  Also, I would be interested in finding
anything written about the representational work done at the workshop or other
work on representations for biological or biochemical function.

I think this is a topic of general interest, so responses can be sent either
directly to the bboard, or email to me and I will summarize.  I'm trying to be
complete in my coverage, so I'd appreciate even a brief response from anyone
with any interest or knowledge of any work on the topic.  Thank you very much.
