16 16  In summary, openMINDS is the overall umbrella for a set of distributed GitHub repositories, each defining a particular metadata model for neuroscience research products.

19 +The main (or central) [[openMINDS GitHub repository>>https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] ingests all these GitHub repositories as submodules. Furthermore it defines the openMINDS vocabulary (**##vocab##**) used for **##types##** and **##properties##** across all schemas independent of their original repository. And last but not least, it holds the schema representations for all supported metadata formats created by the openMINDS generator pipeline.

21 +(% style="text-align: justify;" %)
22 +For this to work smoothly for the existing, but also for all new openMINDS metadata models, the corresponding openMINDS submodules (GitHub repositories) have to meet the following requirements:

21 -All openMINDS metadata models use a light-weighted schema template syntax for defining the name and value of the expected metadata. The correspondingly formatted schema files use the extension: **##.schema.tpl.json##**.

24 24  Although, as the file extension suggests, this openMINDS schema template syntax is inspired by JSON-Schema, it facilitates or even excludes technical aspects that are generally expected for the openMINDS schemas making them more human-readable, especially for untrained eyes. Behind the scenes, within the openMINDS integration pipeline (cf. below), this schema template syntax is then interpreted and flexibly translated to various formal metadata formats (e.g., JSON-Schema).

106 +On the first level, the **##"type"##** of the expected property value needs to be defined. In principle, the openMINDS template syntax supports the same value types as JSON-Schema Draft 7.0, meaning:

109 ++ **##"integer"##**
