Slot: description

The ontology should describe its own contents and scope with a few words or sentences in order to inform human users what the ontology tries to accomplish. The description is displayed in the TIB Terminology Service ontology list and on the start page of each ontology - we therefore recommend to keep it short! For an extensive discussion about the ontology you may want to consider the publication of a traditional academic article or a detailed documentation.
