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”.
