NFDI4Cat focuses on catalysis research and catalysis-related sciences such as chemical engineering and process engineering. Catalysis is a highly complex and interdisciplinary field of science that enables the efficient production of a wide range of products for different industries and at different production scales.
The catalysis and engineering competencies are complemented by expertise in data science, high-performance computing and machine learning. The consortium is additionally supported by an advisory panel of experts. This panel is made up of committed representatives of major German companies active in the field of catalysis. The consortium brings together a wide range of existing know-how, hardware, repositories and software tools that can be built upon to ensure targeted, efficient and interdisciplinary work.
Voc4cat: Vocabulary guidelines for NFDI4CatThe Voc4Cat guidelines have been developed as a blueprint towards suggesting, adding, and editing content to the vocabularies developed throughout NFDI4Cat. The aim of Voc4Cat is to provide guidelines to guarantee consistency and coherence on selection of concepts and terms between all catalysis-related vocabularies in NFDI4Cat. Voc4Cat, initially inspired by the AGROVOC editorial guidelines of FAO, evolved over the course of Task Area 1 (TA1): Ontology Development and Metadata Standards of NFDI4Cat
Flyer Ontologies4CatFlyer introducing concepts and importance for ontologies in catalysis research as seen at the 56. Jahrestreffen Deutscher Katalytiker in Weimar 2023.
NFDI4C* Workshop on synergy & cooperationA short presentationthat was held in the breakout session "ontologies & metadata" of the NFDI4Chem & NFDI4Cat joint workshop.
NFDI4Chem Web Seminars - Joint Webinar Ontologies in Science and TechnologyIn this joint webinar by NFDI4Chem, NFDI4Cat and NFDI4Ing we introduce the concept of Ontologies and their use in Engineering Sciences, Catalysis and Chemistry. Ontologies can help describe research objects, processes and results in a way that not only humans, but also machines can understand and work with. This opens up amazing possibilities for finding, using and integrating research results. The webinar is aimed at scientists with an interest in, but no prior experience with Ontologies. It provides a have a brief introduction to Ontologies and interesting speakers from academia and industry.
Unlocking the Potential of Data - FAIR Data Principles in NFDIThe presentation is part of a series of presentations in the webinar "Unlocking the potential of data - FAIR data principles in NFDI" which took place on 29 September 2023. It is an introduction to Research Data Management (RDM), FAIR data principles, and its advantages.
CAMELS is an abbreviation for "Control Application for Measurements, Experiments, and Laboratory Systems". It is an open software framework for measurement protocol configuration and makes research life easier from planning the experiments to data collection. This presentation took place on 29 September 2023 as a part of the "Unlocking the potential of data - FAIR data principles in NFDI" webinar organized by physical Sciences in NFDI. The content comprises of tool introduction and a discussion of its advantages in Research Data Management (RDM).
The presentation is part of a series of presentations in the webinar "Unlocking the potential of data - FAIR data principles in NFDI" which took place on 29 September 2023. The presentation introduces the Chemotion Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) tool as one of the tools in Research Data Management (RDM), and discusses its key elements in an experimental setup with some related examples.
