| Abstract Scope |
Unlocking the full potential of AI in materials science requires moving beyond static archiving to dynamic, structured data management. We present a semantic knowledge graph approach that places physical experiments, numerical simulations, AI models, and data analysis on the same conceptual plane. By capturing rich provenance at the source using visual, semantically typed workflows, we aim to mitigate the "data wrangling" bottleneck that often hinders AI initiatives. As a use case, we focus on tribology, where material performance relies on a high-dimensional context.
We demonstrate how this knowledge-graph-driven framework enables efficient navigate ion and query across these diverse resources. By utilizing persistent identifiers to facilitate collaboration across different labs, this infrastructure harmonizes complex, multi-modal data for downstream AI applications, including data fusion and quality enhancement. Ultimately, this approach provides a blueprint for integrating scattered research outputs into a cohesive, high-quality environment that supports reproducibility and helps accelerate materials discovery. |
