For the information systems being designed and developed to support researchers and scientists in conducting their work,<jats:italic>conceptual models<\/jats:italic>of the relevant domains are usually designed as both blueprints for a system being developed and as a means of communication between the designer and developer. Most conceptual modelling concepts are generic in the sense that they are applied with the same understanding across many applications. Problems in the life sciences, however, are especially complex and important, because they deal with humans, their well-being, and their interactions with the environment as well as other organisms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>This work proposes a \u201csystemist\u201d perspective for creating a conceptual model of a life scientist\u2019s problem.

We propose a new notation that explicitly incorporates systemist thinking, as well as the components of systems based on recent ontological foundations. The new notation captures important semantics in the domain of life sciences. It may be used to facilitate understanding, communication and problem-solving more broadly. We also provide a precise, sound, ontologically supported characterization of the term \u201csystem,\u201d as a basic construct for conceptual modelling in life sciences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-023-05287-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,13]],"date-time":"2023-06-13T11:02:34Z","timestamp":1686654154000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Conceptual modelling for life sciences based on systemist foundations"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Roman","family":"Lukyanenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Veda C.","family":"Storey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1320-8471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oscar","family":"Pastor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"5287_CR1","volume-title":"The chaos avant-garde: memories of the early days of chaos theory","author":"R Abraham","year":"2000","unstructured":"Abraham R, Ueda Y.
