Battery testing ontology

An EMMO-based semantic framework for
representing knowledge in battery testing and battery quality control

 

Goldbeck Consulting, along with partners from the NanoMECommons project and DigiCell, have published an article in Computers in Industry, that describes a new, Battery Testing Ontology (BTO) that provides a comprehensive framework for the representation of knowledge in battery testing and quality control areas that will faciliate innovations and advances in this area.

As the importance of and our reliance on batteries in our day-to-day lives continues to increase, so does the need for advanced battery management systems and test procedures. This is a complicated task because batteries are used in many applications, such as electric vehicles, energy storage systems and watches. Here, the BTO provides a standardized framework to represent battery testing knowledge, which integrates with materials science ontologies to improve testing and quality control.

The BTO is also fully aligned with the Elementary Multiperspective Material Ontology (EMMO) and other related domain ontologies, including the Battery Domain Ontology (BDO), the Electrochemistry Domain Ontology (EDO) and the Characterization Methodology Ontology (CHAMEO), and therefore can help to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of battery systems.

Battery testing ontology: An EMMO-based semantic framework for representing knowledge in battery testing and battery quality control

was written by Pierluigi Del Nostro, Gerhard Goldbeck, Ferry Kienberger, Manuel Moertelmaier, Andrea Pozzi, Nawfal Al-Zubaidi-R-Smith, and Daniele Toti.

Workshop on materials characterisation, data standardisation and digitalisation

20 November, Homerton College, Cambridge, UK (Hybrid)

Come and discuss FAIR data and FAIR materials characterisation protocols to support reproducibility, collaboration and faster uptake of new characterisation methodologies.

As part of the NanoMECommons project, GCL has been developing an EMMO-based, Characterisation Methodology Domain Ontology, known as CHAMEO, as a general framework for digitalisation of complex characterisation workflows.

This framework is also at the core of the updated CEN Workshop Agreement standard on “Materials characterisation — Terminology and structured documentation”.

This upcoming workshop will be a great opportunity to discuss standardisation, the CHAMEO, its industrial applications and implementation in a protocol documentation app, developed together with Fraunhofer IWM.

CONNECT-NM kick-off meeting Madrid

/in , , , , , , /by
Today, as part of his work with the EMMC, Gerhard is giving a talk at the CONNECT-NM kick-off meeting that is taking place at CIEMAT in Madrid.

Coordination of the European Research Community on Nuclear Materials for Energy Innovation (CONNECT-NM) is a project that answers the Euratom WP call “Cofund HORIZON-EURATOM-2023-NRT-01-04”, for a co-funded European partnership with the aim of boosting innovation in the field of nuclear materials for use in reactors ranging from light water to GenIV, by combining modern digital technologies with materials science practices.

Importantly, the handling of data, including its semantic documentation, is one of the research streams that forms part of the CONNECT-NM project. This project also includes multiscale materials modelling and testing, which makes it relevant to much of the work that Goldbeck Consulting undertakes.

MSE2024 conference Darmstadt

/in , , , , , , /by

Today, the International Materials Science and Engineering Congress — MSE 2024 — gets underway in Darmstadt, Germany. Organised by the Germany Society for Materials Science, this biennial event covers material science and engineering attracts over 1,200 participants.

Both Gerhard and Otello from GCL are taking part in this event. If you are at the conference, feel free to say hello and talk to Gerhard about the work that we do.

As part of the Digital Transformation session, Gerhard is giving a presentation entitled ‘Interoperable representations of characterisation workflows​‘, which gives an overview of how reference frameworks for characterisation workflows have been developed and applied. The presentation highlights work developed as part of the NanoMECommons project.

In addition, Otello is also giving a presentation as part of the same session. His talk entitled ‘Encompassing materials modelling for industry 4.0‘, focuses on materials modelling workflows using semantic technologies that was undertaken as part of the OpenModel project.

Gerhard also gets to chair an open session for NFDI-MatWerk that works to provide a comprehensive and accessible data infrastructure for all those working within the materials science and engineering community.

Semantics 2024 conference

/in , , , , , , /by

Today, Gerhard is attending the 20th International Conference on Semantic Systems, Semantics 2024, in Amsterdam. If you are at the conference, feel free to say hello and talk to Gerhard about the work that we do.

Gerhard will be giving a presentation entitled Top Level Ontologies: desirable characteristics in the context of Materials Science, which emphasises the core role semantic technologies play in driving innovation and achieving interoperability of data. The presentation forms part of a session dedicated to “Harnessing the Power of Semantic Web Technologies in Materials Science“.

The presentation contains work resulting from several EU projects, OntoTrans, OntoCommons and NanoMECommons.

Nanotexnology 2024

/in , , , , /by

Last week, Otello attended the Nanotexnology 2024 International Conferences & Exhibition on Nanotechnologies, Organic Electronics & Nanomedicine series in Thessaloniki, Greece, and took part in a couple of events.

On Saturday 29 June, he attended the 18th International Summer Schools on “Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies, Organic Electronics & Nanomedicine” and gave a talk entitled “Organic semiconductor landscapes from molecular dynamics simulations”.

Then, on Thursday 7 July, as part of the 17th International Symposium on Flexible Organic Electronics, Otello gave an invited talk on “Structurally accurate coarse-grained model for polymers: a lesson of validation” as part of a wider workshop on open innovation and standardization and presented a post on the CHAMEO ontology.

CEN Workshop and review

/in , , , , , /by

This morning, Gerhard chaired a CEN Workshop as part of its kick-off meeting.

The workshop focused on the revision of CWA 17815:2021, entitled “Materials characterisation – Terminology, metadata and classification”. This work is based on insights from the NanoMECommons project that we are taking part in.

The CEN workshop aims to establish a common language (definitions and vocabulary) for materials characterisation and modelling. It aims to update a previous CEN Workshop Agreement on the same topic. Our work on the Characterisation Methodology Ontology (CHAMEO) will underpin the updates to provide a machine-readable reference for the characterisation terminology and metadata, and a clearer structure to the items that are required for documentation of characterisation experiments and the related data processing. The documentation of materials modelling, which was the topic of another CWA, were also discussed.

CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, is an association that brings together the national standardization bodies across 34 European countries. It provides a platform for the development of European Standards and other technical documents in relation to various kinds of products, materials, services and processes.
