    Creation of a Knowledge Space by Semantically Linking Data Repository and Knowledge Management System - a Use Case from Production Engineering
    (Laxenburg : IFAC, 2022) Sheveleva, Tatyana; Wawer, Max Leo; Oladazimi, Pooya; Koepler, Oliver; Nürnberger, Florian; Lachmayer, Roland; Auer, Sören; Mozgova, Iryna
    The seamless documentation of research data flows from generation, processing, analysis, publication, and reuse is of utmost importance when dealing with large amounts of data. Semantic linking of process documentation and gathered data creates a knowledge space enabling the discovery of relations between steps of process chains. This paper shows the design of two systems for data deposit and for process documentation using semantic annotations and linking on a use case of a process chain step of the Tailored Forming Technology.

    NFDI4Ing - the National Research Data Infrastructure for Engineering Sciences

    NFDI4Ing brings together the engineering communities and fosters the management of engineering research data. The consortium represents engineers from all walks of the profession. It offers a unique method-oriented and user-centred approach in order to make engineering research data FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable. NFDI4Ing has been founded in 2017. The consortium has actively engaged engineers across all five engineering research areas of the DFG classification. Leading figures have teamed up with experienced infrastructure providers. As one important step, NFDI4Ing has taken on the task of structuring the wealth of concrete needs in research data management. A broad consensus on typical methods and workflows in engineering research has been established: The archetypes. So far, seven archetypes are harmonising the methodological needs: Alex: bespoke experiments with high variability of setups, Betty: engineering research software, Caden: provenance tracking of physical samples & data samples, Doris: high performance measurement & computation, Ellen: extensive and heterogeneous data requirements, Frank: many participants & simultaneous devices, Golo: field data & distributed systems. A survey of the entire engineering research landscape in Germany confirms that the concept of engineering archetypes has been very well received. 95% of the research groups identify themselves with at least one of the NFDI4Ing archetypes. NFDI4Ing plans to further coordinate its engagement along the gateways provided by the DFG classification of engineering research areas. Consequently, NFDI4Ing will support five community clusters. In addition, an overarching task area will provide seven base services to be accessed by both the community clusters and the archetype task areas. Base services address quality assurance & metrics, research software development, terminologies & metadata, repositories & storage, data security & sovereignty, training, and data & knowledge discovery. With the archetype approach, NFDI4Ing’s work programme is modular and distinctly method-oriented. With the community clusters and base services, NFDI4Ing’s work programme remains firmly user-centred and highly integrated. NFDI4Ing has set in place an internal organisational structure that ensures viability, operational efficiency, and openness to new partners during the course of the consortium’s development. NFDI4Ing’s management team brings in the experience from two applicant institutions and from two years of actively engaging with the engineering communities. Eleven applicant institutions and over fifty participants have committed to carrying out NFDI4Ing’s work programme. Moreover, NFDI4Ing’s connectedness with consortia from nearby disciplinary fields is strong. Collaboration on cross-cutting topics is well prepared and foreseen. As a result, NFDI4Ing is ready to join the National Research Data Infrastructure.

    Development of a Domain-Specific Ontology to Support Research Data Management for the Tailored Forming Technology
    (Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2020) Sheveleva, Tatyana; Koepler, Oliver; Mozgova, Iryna; Lachmayer, Roland; Auer, Sören
    The global trend towards the comprehensive digitisation of technologies in product manufacturing is leading to radical changes in engineering processes and requires a new extended understanding of data handling. The amounts of data to be considered are becoming larger and more complex. Data can originate from process simulations, machines used or subsequent analyses, which together with the resulting components serve as a complete and reproducible description of the process. Within the Collaborative Research Centre "Process Chain for Manufacturing of Hybrid High Performance Components by Tailored Forming", interdisciplinary work is being carried out on the development of process chains for the production of hybrid components. The management of the generated data and descriptive metadata, the support of the process steps and preliminary and subsequent data analysis are fundamental challenges. The objective is a continuous, standardised data management according to the FAIR Data Principles so that process-specific data and parameters can be transferred together with the components or samples to subsequent processes, individual process designs can take place and processes of machine learning can be accelerated. A central element is the collaborative development of a domain-specific ontology for a semantic description of data and processes of the entire process chain.
