Hi rTuyeras,
thanks, these edits look like they could be interesting. Please allow me to provide some hints on formatting:
Instead of verbatim dropping a url like
http://www.few.vu.nl/~rplanque/Onderwijs/MathBio/PapersForProject/Rosen.pdf
type
[pdf](http://www.few.vu.nl/~rplanque/Onderwijs/MathBio/PapersForProject/Rosen.pdf)
to obtain a decent hyperlink (pdf).
For many authors we have pages on the nLab, which one can conveniently hyperlink to by enclosing the (full, usually) author name in square brackets.
For example
* [[Charles Ehresmann]]
gives
and
* [[David Spivak]]
gives
etc.
Generally, double square brackets around technical terms hyperlink them to their nLab page. The wiki is meant to make it easy to thoroughly hyperlink text, and this is in large parts the point of a wiki over a printed text.
For instance
* [[category theory|category-theoretic]]
gives
etc.
Incidentally, all this markup works also here on the nForum. You can check out the “Source”-link at the top right of this comment to see how I coded this comment.
Re #11:
Yes, the paragraphs about hyperstructures don’t seem useful in their present form.
Notice that this material originates from revision 1, written by David Corfield way back in 2009, and does not seem to have been touched since.
My impression is that the only justification for mentioning hyperstructures as a tool in biology at this point is that Nils Baas has been hoping such an application does exist.
I haven’t followed what evidence for this hope may have been provided since, but I suggest unless and until we see such evidence, that all mentioning of hyperstructures be deleted from the entry on biology.
Resolved the discussion on hyperstructures.
Added the following reference, which contains a brief example of hierarchical biological organizations in living organisms:
NA Baas, On the Philosophy of Higher Structures, arXiv:1805.11943

Thanks for the work on this article since Rev 4, Rémy. The page is looking much better now.
Added a couple of references

Ologs: Rewrite the example olog to go in roughly the correct direction, to use standard biology jargon, and to follow the “good practices” from Spivak & Kent 2012; merge explanatory paragraph and Spivak & Kent 2012 ref with ontology log.
The claims in the section on “Ologs” seem surprising. If you could add a reference substantiating this?
