SHORT DESCRIPTION

Voc4cat is a SKOS vocabulary standardizing catalysis concepts, uniting NFDI4Cat’s tools and services.

  • Uniquely identified concepts (URIs) with community-curated definitions.
  • User-friendly contribution via Excel and GitHub.
  • Compliant with the O3 principles: Open data, tools, and infrastructure.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The development of shared, machine-readable vocabularies is of utmost importance to FAIRly annotate (meta)data for machine consumption and to facilitate data reuse. In the field of catalysis, no such vocabulary existed which motivated the creation of Voc4Cat and of a user-friendly curation workflow with GitHub and Excel.
