TY - CONF A1 - Schilling, Markus T1 - PMD Workshop: Use and benefits of the PMDco N2 - This is an interactive workshop of the Plattform MaterialDigital (PMD) on Semantic Web technologies (SWT) where we delve into the world of ontology development and data structuring in the field of materials science and engineering (MSE). This workshop is designed to equip participants with essential skills in categorizing classes within ontologies, with a special emphasis on the PMD Core Ontology (PMDco). Discover the immense value of ontologies for MSE data reproducibility and reuse and harness the power of PMDco to foster your data management practices. In this workshop, you will explore the intricacies of class categorization when developing ontologies in the MSE domain. Through interactive discussions and hands-on exercises, you will learn effective techniques for structuring and organizing ontologies to enhance data retrieval and analysis. You will gain valuable insights into best practices and considerations for class categorization, aiming at optimal data organization and management within your MSE projects. One of the highlights of this workshop is the introduction to PMDco, a mid-level ontology in the field of MSE developed community-driven in the frame of the project PMD. Learn about PMDco, its underlying concepts, and its application in detail. Discover how PMDco provides a comprehensive framework for MSE data representation, enabling seamless integration and interoperability across different systems and platforms. In addition to exploring PMDco, this workshop will illustrate the benefits of data interoperability and SWT with respect to leveraging the full potential of MSE data.

In this respect, the quality assurance of processes and output data as well as the interoperability between applications following FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, reusability) principles are to be ensured. For storage, processing, and querying of data in contextualized form, Semantic Web Technologies (SWT) are used since they allow for machine-actionable and human-readable knowledge representations needed for data management, retrieval, and (re)use. In this respect, the motivation for digital transformation in materials sciences stemming from the need to handle the ever-increasing volume and complexity of data will be elaborated on. By embracing digital tools and methodologies, researchers can enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and reproducibility of their work. The benefits of digital transformation in materials sciences are manifold, including improved data management, enhanced collaboration, and accelerated innovation. Being a core component of this transformation, ensuring data reliability and reproducibility is critical for the advancement of the field, enabling researchers to build on each other's work with confidence. Implementing FAIR data principles facilitates this by making data more accessible and usable across different platforms and studies. Furthermore, Semantic Web technologies (SWT) and ontologies play a crucial role in achieving these goals. Ontologies, typically consisting of the T-Box (terminological component) and A-Box (assertional component), provide a structured framework for representing knowledge. This presentation will outline the path of ontology creation and the formal transformation procedure, highlighting the various ontology levels that organize data into meaningful hierarchies. Real-world use cases presented, such as the Tensile Test Ontology (TTO) and the Orowan Demonstrator, illustrate the practical applications of these technologies. These examples will demonstrate how ontologies can be leveraged to standardize data and facilitate interoperability between different systems and research groups. Finally, in this presentation, Ontopanel is introduced, a tool designed to aid in the creation and management of ontologies. Ontopanel simplifies the process of developing and maintaining ontologies, making it accessible to researchers and practitioners in the field. By integrating these technologies and principles, the materials science community can move towards a more digital, interconnected, and efficient future making the knowledge and education on these topics very valuable.
