| 4 | The openMINDS metadata models all consist of modular connectable metadata schemas. Each schema can be referenced by it's type and defines properties (including their expected value) for a set of related metadata. | ||

| 15 | (% style="text-align: justify;" %) | ||
| 16 | The openMINDS core metadata model contains schemas that you can use to describe the general origin, resource location, and content of your research products in the field of neuroscience. Currently ( Feb 2021) this metadata model comprises 37 usable schemas, grouped into five classes: | ||

| 23 | In case of EBRAINS, metadata representations (instances) of a few selected schemas (**##ContentType##**, **##DititalIdentifierSchema##**, **##License##**) are centrally defined and maintained in a library on a separate [[openMINDS instances GitHub>>https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS_instances/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] to guarantee more consistency across the database instances of the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph. Feel free to explore these instances and to use them also outside of the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph. | ||

| 30 | (% style="text-align: justify;" %) | ||
| 31 | The openMINDS SANDS (**S**patial **A**nchoring for **N**euroscience **D**ata **S**tructures) metadata model contains schemas that you can use to capture the anatomical location of your neuroscience data as well as to identify and highlight commonly used reference brain atlases and coordinate spaces. Currently (Feb 2021) this metadata model comprises 12 metadata schemas: | ||

| 40 | === openMINDS controlledTerms === | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | (% style="text-align: justify;" %) | ||
| 43 | The openMINDS controlledTerms metadata model contains schemas that ensure consistent registration of well-defined terms, including linkages to existing ontological terms where applicable. Currently (Feb 2021) this metadata model comprises 38 nearly identical schemas: | ||

| 50 | 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 (except **##TermSuggestion##**) are centrally defined and maintained in a library on a separate [[openMINDS instances GitHub>>https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS_instances/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]. Feel free to explore these instances and to use them also outside of the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph. | ||

| 53 | We expect the list of controlled terms (schema as well as instances) to grow based on your feedback. For instances of property "study target", you can provide this feedback directly through the schema **##TermSuggestion##** (cf. below). For other controlled terms (e.g., of type Technique or BehavioralTask), please provide your feedback through the [[openMINDS instances GitHub Issue Tracker>>https://github.com/HumanBrainProject/openMINDS_instances/issues||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]. | ||

| 56 | 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 (existing or also new) 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).
