With that, the openMINDS vocab reflects always an up-to-date status of the general attributes of existing **schemas** and **properties** across all openMINDS metadata models, while providing the opportunity to centrally review and maintain their consistency. In addition, this design allows us to centrally define and maintain multiple references to related schemas and matching schema properties of other metadata initiatives.
