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 Joint Lab Helmholtz Model and Data Driven Materials Characterization (Helmholtz-MDMC) focuses on correlative characterization & advanced image analysis, and develops application-level metadata schemas for 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) is a network for scientific projects that drives digitalisation processes in material science and engineering at the interface of academic research and industry. Their PMD core ontology is modularized and extended with several application ontologies, one of which is the microscopy onotlogy which aligns with EM Glossary terminology.
The research data management platform NOvel MAterials Discovery (NOMAD) is a free web service and software framework for scientists to analyse, share and publish materials science data. The EM Glossary terminology has been implemented and integrated in its service via the NeXus domain ontology NXem.
The NFFA-Europe Pilot (NEP) offers combined access to European research infrastructures to integrate synthesis, growth, and maniuplation of nanostructures with fine analysis, theory and simulation. EM Glossary terminology has been implemented in the NEP data management solution.
