What are the Key Elements of Data Standardization?
Several key elements are vital for effective data standardization in catalysis:
Metadata: Detailed information about the data, including experimental conditions, catalyst properties, and measurement techniques. Controlled Vocabulary: A set of standardized terms and definitions to describe various parameters and results. Ontologies: Structured frameworks that define relationships between different terms and concepts in catalysis. Data Formats: Standardized file formats for storing and sharing data (e.g., CSV, JSON, XML). Units of Measurement: Consistent use of units (e.g., SI units) to report quantities and results.
