Ontology Specification Draft

Abstract

The MIRA ontology is designed to capture hypotheses and findings in social demography research. Specifically, the ontology links datasets to research questions in the domain of social demography.

Introduction back to ToC

A shift in scientific publishing from paper-based to knowledge-based practices promotes reproducibility, machine actionability and knowledge discovery. This is important for disciplines like social demography, where study indicators are often social constructs such as race or education, hypothesis tests are challenging to compare due to their limited temporal and spatial coverage, and research output is presented in natural language, which can be ambiguous and imprecise. The MIRA ontology allows researchers to formally represent their social demography research hypotheses, and to discover research biases and novel research questions.
