Target Audience: 

The Materials Data, Infrastructure, & Interoperability (MDII) was founded in 2013; the The International Materials Resource Registries Working Group was established in 2017 and submitted its Final Report at the end of 2019.  The Materials Ontology Task Group and the Semantics Assets Task Groups were established separately in 2018.  Together these groups are developing a coordinated effort for an interoperable materials data infrastructure.

Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group(s): 

The Materials Data, Infrastructure, & Interoperability (MDII) was founded in 2013 and aims to foster exchange of computational & experimental materials data through shared online repositories, standardized formats/terminologies & open programming interfaces.  The International Materials Resource Registries Working Group focused on developing the metadata standards required to establish a network of IMRRs in key sub-domains and regions.  

The Materials Ontology Task Group is part of the focus of the Materials Data Interest Group and concentrates on upper level ontology use/best practices/issues for materials as demonstrated in existing domain ontologies.​
