Slot: had_input_activity

The slot to provide a previous Activity that informed the Activity by being causally via a shared participant.

URI: prov:wasInformedBy Alias: had_input_activity

Inheritance

Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
Simulation A DataGeneratingActivity in which a catalyst, catalytic material, or
catalytic process is modelled computationally.

The simulation software is linked via carried_out_by as a Software agent.
The simulation method (protocol) is linked via realized_plan using a
SimulationMethod instance. The catalyst model or reaction being simulated
is linked via evaluated_entity or evaluated_activity.

The specific simulation type is expressed via rdf_type (e.g. coremeta4cat:DFT,
NCIT:C18097 for molecular dynamics), following DCAT-AP-PLUS Pattern 3.
no
Synthesis A DataGeneratingActivity in which a catalyst is prepared.

The preparation protocol is linked via realized_plan using a
PreparationMethod instance. Input materials (Precursors) are linked via
had_input_entity. The resulting catalyst (CatalystSample) is linked via
had_output_entity.

The type of synthesis is further specified via rdf_type using an ontology
term (e.g. a voc4cat preparation method term), following DCAT-AP-PLUS
Pattern 3.
no
DataAnalysis An Activity that evaluates the data produced by another Activity. no
Characterization A DataGeneratingActivity in which a catalyst sample or catalytic material
is characterized using an analytical technique.

The catalyst sample being characterized is linked via evaluated_entity.
The analytical protocol is linked via realized_plan using a
CharacterizationTechnique instance. The instrument used is linked via
carried_out_by as a Device.

The specific technique type is expressed via rdf_type using an ontology
term (e.g. CHMO:0000158 for powder XRD, CHMO:0000404 for XPS),
following DCAT-AP-PLUS Pattern 3 — exactly as NMRSpectroscopy uses
rdf_type: CHMO:0000613.
no
EvaluatedActivity An activity or process that is being evaluated in a DataGeneratingActivity. no
Reaction An EvaluatedActivity representing the catalytic reaction being studied.

Reaction is NOT a DataGeneratingActivity — it is the catalytic process
being observed, not the process that generates the dataset. A CatalysisDataset
is linked to the Reaction it is about via is_about_activity.

For operando experiments (e.g. in-situ XRD during a reaction), the dataset
carries both:
was_generated_by: Characterization (the measurement producing data)
is_about_activity: Reaction (the catalytic process being monitored)

The reactor is linked via carried_out_by as a ReactorDesignType (Device).
Reactants are linked via had_input_entity. The type of catalytic reaction
(e.g. ammonia synthesis, CO oxidation) is expressed via rdf_type using a
voc4cat or ChemO term.
no
Activity See DCAT-AP specs:Activity yes
ChemicalReaction A process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. no
DataGeneratingActivity An Activity (process) that has the objective to produce information (in form of a dataset) about another Activity or Entity. no
