OntoTrans project final video
Here at GCL, we have been involved with EU Project OntoTrans for the last four years. The project will finish in a few months, but OntoTrans has been a great project to be involved with and several of the project’s developments will continue on after the end date.
Details of new ventures are coming soon, but for now here is a great final video that summarises all of the research and innovation efforts in just a couple of minutes!
Take a look here.
Heading to Materials Week 2024
Will you be attending Materials Week 2024 17–21 June 2024 in Limassol, Cyprus? If so, then do come along to meet Gerhard and learn more about the work that we do.
Gerhard will be representing several of the projects that Goldbeck Consulting Limited is currently work with. He will be giving two talks about our work on the OntoTrans and OpenModel projects. He will also be presenting two posters that cover our work on the NanoMECommons project and his work and role as part of the European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC).
For the OntoTrans project, the talk is entitled: Tackling Innovation Challenges in an Industry 5.0 Context with an Ontology-based Open Translation Environment.
For the OpenModel project, the talk is entitled: An Open-Innovation Platform for Knowledge-based Management of Materials Modelling Workflows for Industrial Data.
For the NanoMECommons project, the poster is entitled: From CHADA to CHAMEO: A Reference System for Characterisation Data Management.
For the EMMC, the poster is entitled: EMMC: Communities and governance of models and digital representations of materials.

Semantic Materials Workshop report 2024
Semantic Materials Workshop Report
Semantic data and knowledge management for chemicals and materials industries
A partnership meeting organised by the OntoTrans project
Following the success of the inaugural Semantic Materials Workshop meeting that took place at the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3) on 17 April 2024, a short report on the findings from the day has been published. The report covers the need for efficient data management and exchange within materials science, the barriers and benefits of adopting semantic technologies, and directions for the future.
Developing Ontologies in Materials Science
was written by Vikki Cantrill, Anne de Baas, Otello Roscioni, and Gerhard Goldbeck.

Semantic Materials Workshop
Semantic data and knowledge management for chemicals and materials industries
A partnership meeting organised by the OntoTrans project
The inaugural Semantic Materials Workshop meeting took place at the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3) on 17 April 2024, organised in conjunction with the partners from the OntoTrans project.
The IOM3 provided a great, yet quirky, venue for our full day of presentations and discussions ranging from industrial requirements to implementations of semantic data management systems.
We were joined by industrial delegates from Johnson Matthey, Michelin, P&G and BASF; ontology developments and applications in materials from Univ Bologna, SINTEF and Fraunhofer ISC; and solutions from SciBite, Semantic Partners and metaphacts, alongside many others.
OntoTrans partners discussed their ideas to offer consulting services based on Elementary Multiperspective Material Ontology (EMMO) ontologies and proposed a collaborative, industrial consortium to help usher in the era of “active metadata”.

We are delighted to announce our Semantic Materials Workshop.
The success of digital transformation projects towards semantic data management requires a range of skills and partners all working together. At this expert meeting, partners from the OntoTrans project would like to discuss potential collaborations with a wide range of solution providers and interested parties from chemical and materials industries.
This workshop will include a full day of presentations and discussions ranging from industrial requirements to implementations of semantic data management systems.
Attendees will hear about industrial challenges and directions from Johnson Matthey, Michelin and BASF; ontology developments and applications in materials, including batteries from Univ Bologna, SINTEF and Fraunhofer ISC; and solutions from SciBite, Semantic Partners and metaphacts.
OntoTrans partners plan to offer consulting services to build and implement Elementary Multiperspective Material Ontology (EMMO)-based ontologies that enable materials- and chemistry-based industries to reap the benefits of semantic knowledge management at the enterprise level and enter the era of “active metadata”.
Why use semantic data management?
Data management has evolved considerably over the last 30 years. Semantics and semantic technologies enable us to carry out unified analyses of data from different data sources and offer augmented analyses, recommendations and AI orchestration.
Knowledge management systems reflect and maintain enterprise knowledge that can be integrated with knowledge and data beyond the enterprise, which supports open and co-innovation.
Ontologies are used successfully in finance (FIBO ontology), oil and gas production (ISO15926), and bioinformatics (Gene ontology), along with chemistry domain ontologies. However, semantics in the area of materials science and manufacturing is underexploited.
A number of EU projects have contributed to an ontology framework that incorporates fundamental principles and concepts from physics, chemistry and materials science: the EMMO.
The OntoTrans project has built a semantic knowledge system based on EMMO that enables users to represent innovation challenges and connect them to a range of data sources, including data from modelling and simulation.
Please note: This workshop is an invitation-only event.
To make the most of the day, attendance in-person is recommended. Online participation will be limited to presentations only. In-person registration closes Wednesday 3 April 2024.

OntoTrans M48 consortium meeting in Freiburg, Germany
The OntoTrans consortium M48 meeting is underway in Freiburg, Germany in which GCL is a partner organisation. The meeting will run 19–20 March 2024.
Fraunhofer IWM, a partner organisation in the project, is our venue for this hybrid event with all project partners coming together to discuss the great progress made during the project and to finalise plans as the project enters its last months.
The OntoTrans project work to provide an ontology-based 0pen translation environment to benefit existing and emerging developments in materials research and manufacturing.
