Abstract (englisch):
To be fully exploitable and ‘future proof’, research data needs to meet various requirements. For this, the FAIR principles [1] – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable - provide a widely accepted framework.
Here, we want to focus on ‘interoperability’, which requires a common language for knowledge representation within interdisciplinary fields, such as electron microscopy (EM). Such semantic standards are often lacking or even controversial. In the field of EM, a number of application-level initiatives independently started developing metadata schemas [e.g. 2,3], to describe experimental equipment, workflows, and analysis procedures. Semantic harmonisation of such efforts is required to ensure data interoperability in the future. As a first step, misalignment of terminology has to be addressed by mapping concepts of different scientific contexts, and user groups.
The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) [4] is currently coordinating a first effort, the EM glossary group [5], to establish a documented terminology for electron and ion microscopy (IM). This community involves scientists from more than 23 institutions across Switzerland, Austria, and Germany and representatives of the FAIRmat and the MatWerk NFDI consortia.
