The foundation for component interoperability in geWorkbench is 'BISON (Biomedical Informatics Structured ONtology), an application-wide data-model for the representation of bioinformatics objects, including both primary data and analysis results. geWorkbench components communicate by exchanging BISON objects, via an underlying event-driven framework.

BISON borrows concepts from a number of well established domain models, such as MAGE-OM, BioJava, and BioPax. Its design strives to achieve the right balance between concrete needs and model expressiveness, to avoid creating a model too complicated to be of practically utility.
