Digital Data for MGI: understanding requirements and investigating semantic and federated approaches

Background

"Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) is the integration of materials information, captured in computational tools, with engineering product performance analysis and manufacturing process simulation." his definition of ICME provided by the National Research Council in 2008 describes the complexity of the engineering framework being constructed to enable 21st century materials science and engineering. This framework will be comprised of modeling tools and experimental data to provide an integrated engineering capability that describes the composition, processing, structure, and property relationships of a material used to design and manufacture components.

The ICME construct is very much in keeping with the goal of the Materials Genome Initiative’s (MGI) to double the speed at which we discover, develop and manufacture new materials. The goal will be achieved through the development of a materials innovation infrastructure that includes computational tools, experimental tools, digital data, and collaborative networks.

Workshop Purpose

Numerous entities have observed that the complexity and significantly enhanced engineering capability of an ICME framework raise important questions pertaining to the ability to discover, assess, integrate and use materials data and information. This workshop will focus on the application of semantic technologies to structural design <ref>Discussion should also include functional material considerations (e.g. thermal conductivity, lightning strike, etc.)</ref>, manufacturing, and materials design and development.
