Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) [1] is a database and ontology that represents knowledge about more than 15,000 small molecules and their biochemistry. The database does not currently use description logic reasoning or OWL, but is investigating this possibility for better, cheaper and faster ontology development in the future. This poster describes four specific problems and solutions to reasoning in ChEBI: 1. Using necessary and sufficient conditions 2. identifying inconsistencies 3. Improving alignment with the the Gene Ontology (GO) 4. Reasoning with chemical structures
