Hey @doriantaylor, I have some more dumb semantic web questions.

1. If I *don't* want to use a full existing ontology, because I intentionally want to have a simpler model during early phases of a project, is there a .. I guess a "sanctioned way" to enhance my ontology as time goes on without losing fidelity?

I know OWL's SameAs can identify individual resources as the same as some other resource, but this would kind of be that, only at the ontological level, maybe.

Yesterday, I've attended the MSE Research Data Forum 2025 organised by #NFDIMatWerk. Aside from the conference presentations, our little ontologies group was meeting and discussing future work on ontologies in NFDI-MatWerk, including NFDIcore, MatWerk Application Ontologies, and PMDcore.

At #ESWC2025, the 3rd #SemTech4STLD25 workshop tackled how #SemanticWeb, #NLP & #AI can make complex scientific, technical & legal data more usable.

FIZ Karlsruhe played a key role — with strong contributions to the orga & review process.
Keynote by @pgroth on evaluating generative AI in scientific domains sparked great discussion.
