NFDI4DSO: Towards a BFO Compliant Ontology for Data Science

Genet Asefa Gesese, Jörg Waitelonis, Zongxiong Chen et al.

The NFDI4DataScience (NFDI4DS) project aims to enhance the accessibility and interoperability of research data within Data Science (DS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) by connecting digital artifacts and ensuring they adhere to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles. To this end, this poster introduces the NFDI4DS Ontology, which describes resources in DS and AI and models the structure of the NFDI4DS consortium. Built upon the NFDICore ontology and mapped to the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), this ontology serves as the foundation for the NFDI4DS knowledge graph currently under development.

Ontologies in Motion: A BFO-Based Approach to Knowledge Graph Construction for Motor Performance Research Data in Sports Science

Sarah Rebecca Ondraszek, Jörg Waitelonis, Katja Keller et al.

An essential component for evaluating and comparing physical and cognitive capabilities between populations is the testing of various factors related to human performance. As a core part of sports science research, testing motor performance enables the analysis of the physical health of different demographic groups and makes them comparable. The Motor Research (MO|RE) data repository, developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, is an infrastructure for publishing and archiving research data in sports science, particularly in the field of motor performance research. In this paper, we present our vision for creating a knowledge graph from MO|RE data. With an ontology rooted in the Basic Formal Ontology, our approach centers on formally representing the interrelation of plan specifications, specific processes, and related measurements. Our goal is to transform how motor performance data are modeled and shared across studies, making it standardized and machine-understandable. The idea presented here is developed within the Leibniz Science Campus ``Digital Transformation of Research'' (DiTraRe).
