A general reference system for biological information processing needs to address information structures of the biological research process as well as those of the materials used in the study. The present article presents a framework for such a reference system by means of a categorization of biological data structures into "biological study", "descriptor", and "biological object". An entity relation model is presented to clarify the internal structure of biological objects, which may stand for scientific names, taxa, units in a natural history collection, or even geographical sites or ecological categories.
