56 +Except for **##TermSuggestion##**, the openMINDS controlledTerms metadata schemas differ only in their schema type which defines the terminology to which correspondingly created metadata representations (instances) belong to. In order to guarantee more consistency across the database instances of the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph, instances for all controlled terms are centrally defined and maintained in a library on the openMINDS controlledTerms GitHub under [[**##terminologies/##**>>https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS_controlledTerms/tree/v1/terminologies]].

53 -For all controlled terms schemas (except **##TermSuggestion##**), openMINDS provides a library of controlled instances that were defined and reviewed by corresponding experts of the openMINDS development team (cf. also below). In particular within EBRAINS, the usage of these controlled instances increase the level of data integration inside the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph. Feel free to explore these instances (in the HTML view or on the GitHub) and make use them, inside or outside of EBRAINS.
59 +We expect the list of controlled terms (schema as well as instances) to grow based on your feedback. You can provide this feedback directly through the schema **##TermSuggestion##**. If an important term is missing from our controlled library, this schema provides you with the possibility to define your own term and register it as a suggestion for the controlled library. For this purpose, the **##TermSuggestion##** schema has two more properties (**##"addExistingTerminology"##**, **##"suggestNewTerminology"##**) where you can state to which terminology the new suggested (not yet controlled) term should belong to. Within the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph, the metadata representations for **##TermSuggestion##** will be regularly reviewed by the openMINDS development team in order to integrate these community-driven suggestions into the controlledTerms terminologies and corresponding ontologies (where applicable).

56 -The **##TermSuggestion##** schema was introduced to facilitate community-driven requests for new controlled terms and respective instances for the properties **##"studyOption"##** and **##"studyTarget"##** (which needs are particularly difficult to predict). Correspondingly suggested metadata instances will be frequently evaluated and integrated as proper controlled instances on the GitHub repository be the openMINDS development team.

66 -The libraries of these controlled instances will grow based on your feedback. If you miss an instance or terminology, feel free to make a corresponding request via our support email (openminds@ebrains.eu) or raise an issue on the respective GitHub repository. Within EBRAINS, new controlled terms and respective instances for the properties **##"studyOption"##** and **##"studyTarget"##** (which needs are particularly difficult to predict) can also be made by filling out a **##TermSuggestion##** (cf. above).

68 -All your request are reviewed regularly by the openMINDS development team, in order to integrate all community-driven suggestions (where applicable). In addition, your suggestions will be evaluated as possible extensions for the SciGraph ontologies, powered by the FAIR Data Informatics (FDI) Lab - SciCrunch Infrastrucutre and the INCF Knowledge Space team.
