Prof Stevens has been a seminal contributor to areas of research within the area of ontology in biology. He was part of one of the first ontologies to be used in the life sciences with TAMBIS and has contributed towards community built ontologies in areas of molecular biology also contributing towards tools such as Protege for editing OWL ontologies.
