Find open-source science resources

NFDI-MatWerk aims to establish a digital infrastructure for Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), fostering improved data sharing and collaboration. This repository provides comprehensive documentation for NFDI MatWerk Ontology (MWO) v3.0.0, a foundational framework designed to structure research data and enhance interoperability within the MSE community. To ensure compliance with top-level ontology standards, MWO v3.0.0 is aligned with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and incorporates the modular approach of the NFDIcore mid-level ontology, enriching metadata through standardized classes and properties. The mwo addresses key aspects of MSE research data, including the NFDI-MatWerk community structure, covering task areas, infrastructure use cases, projects, researchers, and organizations. It also describes essential NFDI resources, such as software, workflows, ontologies, publications, datasets, metadata schemas, instruments, facilities, and educational materials. Additionally, mwo represents NFDI-MatWerk services, academic events, courses, and international collaborations. As the foundation for the MSE Knowledge Graph, mwo facilitates efficient data integration and retrieval, promoting collaboration and knowledge representation across MSE domains. This digital transformation enhances data discoverability, reusability, and accelerates scientific exchange, innovation, and discoveries by optimizing research data management and accessibility.

Biofactoid is a web-based system that empowers authors to capture and share machine-readable summaries of molecular-level interactions described in their publications.

The Bibframe vocabulary consists of RDF classes and properties used for the description of items cataloged principally by libraries, but may also be used to describe items cataloged by museums and archives. Classes include the three core classes - Work, Instance, and Item - in addition to many more classes to support description. Properties describe characteristics of the resource being described as well as relationships among resources. For example: one Work might be a "translation of" another Work; an Instance may be an "instance of" a particular Bibframe Work. Other properties describe attributes of Works and Instances. For example: the Bibframe property "subject" expresses an important attribute of a Work (what the Work is about), and the property "extent" (e.g. number of pages) expresses an attribute of an Instance.

A data model for managing information about chemical entities, ranging from atoms through molecules to complex mixtures.

The covid-19 epidemiology and monitoring ontology (cemo) provides a common ontological model to make epidemiological quantitative data for monitoring the covid-19 outbreak machine-readable and interoperable to facilitate its exchange, integration and analysis, to eventually support evidence-based rapid response.

Algorithm Metadata Vocabulary is a vocabulary for capturing and storing the metadata about the algorithms (a procedure or a set of rules that is followed step-by-step to solve a problem, especially by a computer). There are uncountable algorithms present in every area (e.g., Computer Science, Mathematics), which makes it hard for specialists, academicians, application engineers, and so forth to discover, distinguish, select, and reuse them.

Voc4Cat is a [SKOS](https://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-skos-reference-20090818/) vocabulary for the catalysis disciplines. The vocabulary was created in the [NFDI4Cat](http://www.nfdi4cat.org/) initiative. The first collection of terms was published in June 2023 with a focus on photo catalysis. Our goal is to continuously extend the vocabulary to other areas of catalysis and related disciplines like chemical engineering or materials science.

The Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology is a mature foundational ontology that contains over 6000 concepts organized in 200 ontologies represented in OWL. Top level concepts include Representation (math, space, science, time, data), Realm (Ocean, Land Surface, Terrestrial Hydroshere, Atmosphere, etc.), Phenomena (macro-scale ecological and physical), Processes (micro-scale physical, biological, chemical, and mathematical), Human Activities (Decision, Commerce, Jurisdiction, Environmental, Research).

The Simplified Upper Level Ontology (SULO) is ontology with a minimal set of classes and relations to guide the development of a personal health knowledge graph. [from homepage]

The Semantic Mapping Vocabulary provides and defines terms used for creating and maintaining semantic mappings, in particular mapping metadata.

An ontology of qualifications, distinctions, and certifications that uses the Phenotype And Trait Ontology term quality (PATO:0000001) as a root term.
