MSE2024 conference Darmstadt

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.

Openmodel Exploitation Workshop

The OpenModel Exploitation Workshop took place yesterday and today (17 and 18 September 2024) in Hamburg, Germany. This two-day event demonstated the potential of OpenModel with ineractive sessions and on platform training with real-world applicatons.

Otello gave a presentation today entitled Describing, retrieving, and executing materials modelling workflows on the OpenModel platform, which gave a behind the scenes look into how to write and ontology from scratch and setting up semantic descriptions of workflows.

The presentation contains work resulting from EU project, OpenModel.

Semantics 2024 conference

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.

Or, you can view the presentation here.

The presentation in paper format, has since been included in the proceedings from the conference. Top Level Ontologies: desirable characteristics in the context of Materials Science was written by Pierluigi Del Nostro, Jesper Friis, Emanuele Ghedini, Gerhard Goldbeck, Daniele Toti and Francesco Zaccarini.
