abstract = {Describing the processes involved in analyzing data from
electrophysiology experiments to investigate the function of
neural systems is inherently challenging. On the one hand,
data can be analyzed by distinct methods that serve a
similar purpose, such as different algorithms to estimate
the spectral power content of a measured time series. On the
other hand, different software codes can implement the same
algorithm for the analysis while adopting different names to
identify functions and parameters. Having reproducibility in
mind, with these ambiguities the outcomes of the analysis
are difficult to report, e.g., in the methods section of a
manuscript or on a platform for scientific findings. Here,
we illustrate how using an ontology to describe the analysis
process can assist in improving clarity, rigour and
comprehensibility by complementing, simplifying and
classifying the details of the implementation. We
implemented the Neuroelectrophysiology Analysis Ontology
(NEAO) to define a unified vocabulary and to standardize the
descriptions of the processes involved in analyzing data
from neuroelectrophysiology experiments. Real-world examples
demonstrate how the NEAO can be employed to annotate
provenance information describing an analysis process. Based
on such provenance, we detail how it can be used to query
various types of information (e.g., using knowledge graphs)
that enable researchers to find, understand and reuse prior
analysis results.},
