The EM Glossary initiative strives to provide stable, domain-level terminology to be used as a harmonization and alignment target for independent application-level developments. Our documentation provides detailed examples and recommendations on how to adopt. Here you can quickly check out who is adopting our terminology and where.
We are always happy to support adoption or simply to feature stories here. Email us to learn more.
The NFDI FAIRmat consortium is focused on building a research data management solution in the areas of condensed-matter physics and the chemical physics of solids. This work includes the implementation and community building around various extensions to NeXus. Here comprehensive domain-level ontologies NXem for electron microscopy and NXapm for atom probe tomography adopt the EM Glossary terminology via domain-specific application definitions and base classes.
The Helmholtz Joint Lab MDMC focuses on correlative characterization & advanced image analysis, and develops application-level metadata schemas for different techniques, including Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy in which EM Glossary terminology is referenced.
NFDI MatWerk develops application-level metadata in collaborative Infrastructure Use Cases and Participants Projects - such as PP13: Tomography and Microstructure based modelling - that align to EM Glossary terminology.
Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) aims to bring together and support stakeholders from the industrial and academic sectors in sustainably implementing digitalization tasks for materials and processes. Their PMD core ontology (PMDco) is a mid-level ontology for materials science and engineering. This ontology is extended with application ontologies, such as the Microscopy Ontology (MO), which aligns with the EM Glossary terminology.
