Ontologies4Cat: investigating the landscape of ontologies for catalysis research data management
In the age of scientific digitization, ensuring data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) is crucial for machine-processable data. Ontologies play a vital role in achieving data FAIRness by representing knowledge in a machine-understandable format. Catalysis research data is often complex and diverse, requiring a broad collection of ontologies. While existing ontology portals aid […]
