description: 'The PMD Core Ontology (PMDco) is a comprehensive framework for representing
  knowledge that encompasses fundamental concepts from the domains of materials science
  and engineering (MSE). The PMDco has been designed as a mid-level ontology to establish
  a connection between specific MSE application ontologies and the domain neutral
  concepts found in established top-level ontologies. The primary goal of the PMDco
  is to promote interoperability between diverse domains. PMDco''s class structure
  is both understandable and extensible, making it an efficient tool for organizing
  MSE knowledge. It serves as a semantic intermediate layer that unifies MSE knowledge
  representations, enabling data and metadata to be systematically integrated on key
  terms within the MSE domain. With PMDco, it is possible to seamlessly trace data
  generation. By building on this foundation, PMDco facilitates the integration of
  data from various sources and the creation of complex workflows. In summary, PMDco
  is a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners in the MSE domains. It provides
  a common language for representing and sharing knowledge, allowing for efficient
  collaboration and promoting interoperability between diverse domains. Its design
  allows for the systematic integration of data and metadata, enabling seamless traceability
  of data generation. Overall, PMDco is a crucial step towards a unified and comprehensive
  understanding of the MSE domain. PMDco at GitHub: https://github.com/materialdigital/core-ontology
