| Summary: | This CWA defines a workflow how to define, review, and implement domain-specific terminology of an application in materials science and engineering (MSE) to support domain ontology creation.
The CWA covers:
- roles and responsibilities for terminology work;
- a stepwise process from scoping and term harvesting to publication and implementation;
- a structured term record with mandatory data categories (e.g. definition type, relations, sources);
- quality insurance and review gates; and
- implementation in terminology databases.
This CWA is applicable to industrial and research use cases across MSE sub-domains and languages. It is intended for terminology curators, domain experts, ontology engineers, and data stewards involved in terminology-driven ontology development. |
