DESCRIPTION:Increasingly, medical science rests on
  biological discoveries about cells, genes and pro
 teins. Increasingly, medical science rests on the 
 processing by computers of large bodies of data de
 riving from new diagnostic techniques. But serious
  problems arise when biologists and clinical resea
 rchers need to communicate, and these problems are
  compounded wherever computers are involved. We wi
 ll show how these problems overlap with some of th
 e traditional concerns of the philosophy of langua
 ge, and how philosophers are working with biomedic
 al researchers to contribute to their solution.   
 Prof. Barry Smith is Julian Park Professor of Phil
 osophy at SUNY in Buffalo, and Director of the Ins
 titute for Formal Ontology and Medical Information
  Science at the University of Saarbruecken. He is 
 also Scientific Director of the European Centre fo
 r Ontological Research.    For more information, p
