Materials Science (MS) includes the
study of the structure and
properties of any material (e.g., metals, polymers, and biomaterials).
This knowledge
may be used to create new types of materials with properties that have
been
tailored for specific purposes.
Materials informatics studies the collection, classification, storage,
retrieval, transfer, and dissemination of MS
information to support the advancement of
knowledge in this domain.
Supporting interactions between MS research and education is an
overarching emphasis of the Materials Informatics
Lab.
The Materials Informatics
Lab investigates research issues associated
with MS:
- data archiving
- metadata
- markup
- controlled vocabulary
- taxonomy/ontology
