This paper builds on the theory of institutions, a version of abstract model theory that emerged in computer science studies
of software specification and semantics. To handle proof theory, our institutions use an extension of traditional categorical
logic with sets of sentences as objects instead of single sentences, and with morphisms representing proofs as usual. A natural
equivalence relation on institutions is defined such that its equivalence classes are logics. Several invariants are defined
for this equivalence, including a Lindenbaum algebra construction, its generalization to a Lindenbaum category construction
that includes proofs, and model cardinality spectra; these are used in some examples to show logics inequivalent. Generalizations
of familiar results from first order to arbitrary logics are also discussed, including Craig interpolation and Beth definability.
