What are some best practices for defining my new term?
The primary purpose of terms in Neurolex is for the annotation of data. Therefore, the definition should provide the meaning of the term in a way that distinguishes it from other related terms (monothetic) so that users will know how to apply that term to their data. We favor the Aristotelian approach: A “is a type of” B “which has” C. B gives the parent class (see above); C gives one or more properties that distinguishes that class from all other related classes.
