BWMD Domain Ontology (BWMD-DOMAIN)

presents the development of a domain ontology specifically aligned with standard-compliant tensile testing, created within the framework of the Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) initiative. The publication offers insights into the development process of domain ontologies, using the tensile test as a primary example. It demonstrates how semantic technologies and the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles can be applied to explore and find the best digitization approaches for materials data handling. By achieving semantic interoperability across different material domains, the ontology enables a structured, machine-readable representation of experimental mechanical testing data, facilitating better data integration and reuse in industrial data spaces.

of semantic models for various processes along the manufacturing chain. The framework establishes a scalable semantic basis for integrating ontology-driven knowledge representation into advanced decision support systems. By digitalizing material data through semantic modeling, machine-readable data with contextual metadata is stored in a graph database. This data can be efficiently queried using the SPARQL language, enabling seamless integration into data pipelines and providing a foundation for subsequent integration into explainable engineering systems and model-based engineering environments.
