  2. Summary of the Problem • Materials science is very broad and interdisciplinary • Primarily comes from: metallurgy, ceramics, polymer science • Plus: physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, geology, electronics, optics, biology • Engineers need to answer questions like: • “What structural properties and processing methods are required to develop new lightweight materials that significantly improve fuel efficiency yet meet safety standards satisfied by traditional materials in use today?” • Materials data is proliferating, but it is difficult and time-consuming to find and use

  3. Goals • Help users find data-related resources to improve design, research and collaboration • By: • Defining and building consensus around minimum required metadata for materials science data discovery • Deploying metadata schema using pilot registry infrastructure developed by NIST • Validating with materials science data collections at organizations participating in the Working Group

  4. Status of the Deliverable • First version of the schema, supporting software, and vocabulary are being released • Basic functionality in place for registering resources, harvesting between instances, and searching • Initial deployments at two institutions • Currently populating the MRR with records and continuing to test the components and system

  5. Initial Adopters • 2 instances running to date, collectively containing 260+ records: • NIST Materials Resource Registry • Materials.registry.nist.gov– NIST records plus a number of records related to the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) • Center for Hierarchical Materials Design (CHiMaD) Materials Resource Registry • mrr.materialsdatafacility.org– Records associated with CHiMaD efforts • Records represent many institutions and types of resources • Discussions with several other institutions

  6. Expected Impact of the Deliverable • Lay the groundwork to make materials resources and data more readily discoverable, accessible, and interoperable • Support development of an ecosystem around making materials data and metadata available and machine-actionable • E.g., data for machine learning to develop new materials

  7. Feedback Desired from RDA Community • Where there are opportunities for collaboration (e.g., with other interest groups or projects) • Materials Science resources to register • Instances deployed as part of the federation • Feedback on future materials metadata development and refinement • Breakout session: • Joint meeting: IG RDA/CODATA Materials Data, Infrastructure & Interoperability, WG International Materials Resource Registries • Thursday, 21 Sept., 2017, 9-10:30 • Room: Cartier 2
