As suggested by Barry Smith, this paper:
https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002226
(title: Host Biology in Light of the Microbiome: Ten Principles of Holobionts and Hologenomes. Authors: Seth R. Bordenstein ,Kevin R. Theis. Published: August 18, 2015https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002226 )
looks very interesting.
We need to check that we have all needed terms in the host-microbiome ontology from:

Box 2. Terminology
Coevolution: reciprocal evolution of interacting species
Commensalism: a relationship benefiting one party while the other is unaffected
Mutualism: a relationship benefiting both parties
Parasitism: a relationship benefiting one party to the other’s detriment
Symbiosis: two or more species living closely together in a long-term relationship
Macrobe: a eukaryotic host, most being visible by eye
Microbiota: the microbes in or on a host, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, protists, and fungi
Microbiome: the complete genetic content of the microbiota
Holobiont: a unit of biological organization composed of a host and its microbiota
Hologenome: the complete genetic content of the host genome, its organelles’ genomes, and its microbiome
Microbe flow: the exchange of microbes between holobionts
Phylosymbiosis: microbial community relationships changing in parallel with the host nuclear phylogeny
