Making Smart Materials Smarter: How Semantic Web Development Enhances LivMatS My project aims to develop a semantic web and ontologies for describing and structuring material properties. Unlike the traditional web, the Semantic Web organizes data in a way that allows machines to interpret and use it. This organization is achieved through ontologies. Ontologies are structured frameworks that define the concepts within a domain and the relationships between them. Think of an ontology as a detailed map that categorizes and connects different pieces of knowledge. In the context of LivMatS, ontologies might include concepts like "self-repair," "energy harvesting," and "adaptive behavior," along with explanations of how these concepts interrelate. By using ontologies, we can create a well-structured and interconnected knowledge base that makes it easier for machines to process and analyze data. This capability is crucial for developing the advanced, intelligent materials systems envisioned by LivMatS.
