org/) and the wider bioinformatics community [ 21], the MIABi initiative arises from a response to the growing need for transparency, provenance and scientific reproducibility amongst the bioinformatics and computational biology community. At its current incarnation, MIABi will not mandate all dataset or database submissions to be fully compliant with standard nomenclature, controlled vocabularies and standard ontologies, for the practical reason that many scientific communities may not be ready to agree to the standardization process or competing standards or that there are no standard terminologies in many rapidly growing fields.In this way, the veracity of the claims can be tested and any queries be raised before the paper can be approved for publication.

Should the corresponding live database referenced in the publication be discontinued, the original database must be re-instantiable upon request by any reader wishing to review the work, without undue administrative, operational or technical barriers, and wherever possible, future-proofed. In a decontextualised state, similar or identical terms create confusion for reasoning engines or natural language processing. It also aims at “minimizing the reporting requirements while maximizing the information available to those interpreting the results” of a bioinformatics database, resource, software application or algorithm, analysis or in silico experiment.
