本体的创建和使用已经成为许多学科的主流活动，特别是在生物医学领域。本体开发者经常在同行评审的本体描述报告中传播关于这些本体的信息。然而，这些报告的内容似乎有很大的差异。通常，重要的细节被省略，使得难以获得对本体、其内容和创建方法的充分理解。我们提出的最低信息报告的本体（MIRO）的指导方针，以促进更高程度的完整性和本体文档之间的一致性，包括已发表的论文，并最终更高标准的报告质量。MIRO指南的草案以问卷的形式分发给公众征求意见，我们随后从本体作者、开发人员、用户和评审人员那里收集了110份回复。我们报告了这次咨询的反馈，包括对每个指南的评论，并对每个MIRO信息项的相对重要性进行了分析。这些结果被用于更新MIRO指南，主要是通过提供单个项目的更详细的操作定义和分配重要程度。基于我们的MIRO的修订版，我们进行了审查，最近发表的15个本体描述报告，从三个重要的期刊在语义网和生物医学领域，并分析他们遵守MIRO准则。我们发现，只有41.38%的信息项目被大多数论文所覆盖（并且被调查受访者认为是重要的），并且大量重要项目根本没有被覆盖，例如与测试和版本控制策略相关的项目。我们相信，社区审查MIRO指南可以有助于显着提高本体描述报告和其他文档的质量，特别是通过增加重要的本体功能，否则往往被忽视的一致性报告。
Creation and use of ontologies has become a mainstream activity in many disciplines, in particular, the biomedical domain. Ontology developers often disseminate information about these ontologies in peer-reviewed ontology description reports. There appears to be, however, a high degree of variability in the content of these reports. Often, important details are omitted such that it is difficult to gain a sufficient understanding of the ontology, its content and method of creation. We propose the Minimum Information for Reporting an Ontology (MIRO) guidelines as a means to facilitate a higher degree of completeness and consistency between ontology documentation, including published papers, and ultimately a higher standard of report quality. A draft of the MIRO guidelines was circulated for public comment in the form of a questionnaire, and we subsequently collected 110 responses from ontology authors, developers, users and reviewers. We report on the feedback of this consultation, including comments on each guideline, and present our analysis on the relative importance of each MIRO information item. These results were used to update the MIRO guidelines, mainly by providing more detailed operational definitions of the individual items and assigning degrees of importance. Based on our revised version of MIRO, we conducted a review of 15 recently published ontology description reports from three important journals in the Semantic Web and Biomedical domain and analysed them for compliance with the MIRO guidelines. We found that only 41.38% of the information items were covered by the majority of the papers (and deemed important by the survey respondents) and a large number of important items are not covered at all, like those related to testing and versioning policies. We believe that the community-reviewed MIRO guidelines can contribute to improving significantly the quality of ontology description reports and other documentation, in particular by increasing consistent reporting of important ontology features that are otherwise often neglected.
