Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
ElectrochemicalReactor Electrochemical reactor used in electrocatalytic experiments, including
H-cells, flow cells, and membrane electrode assemblies.
no
SubstanceSample A MaterialSample derived from a ChemicalSubstance that is of interest in an analytical procedure. 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
CSTR Continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) — a well-mixed, continuous-flow
reactor operating at steady state.
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
DataAnalysis An Activity that evaluates the data produced by another Activity. no
DissolvingSubstance A liquid ChemicalSubstance that dissolves or that is capable of dissolving a ChemicalSubstance. no
StartingMaterial A ChemicalSubstance with that has a starting material role in a synthesis. no
Entity A physical, digital, conceptual, or other kind of thing with some fixed aspects; entities may be real or imaginary. yes
DataGeneratingActivity An Activity (process) that has the objective to produce information (in form of a dataset) about another Activity or Entity. no
Atom A MaterialEntity constituting the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element. no
AnalysisSourceData Information that was evaluated within a DataAnalysis. no
PolymerSample A SubstanceSample derived from a Polymer. no
Microreactor Microreactor — a miniaturised flow reactor with characteristic dimensions
in the sub-millimetre range, enabling precise thermal control and rapid
screening.
no
FluidizedBedReactor Fluidized bed reactor — a reactor in which the catalyst particles are
suspended in an upward-flowing gas or liquid stream.
no
Polymer A ChemicalSubstance that is composed of macromolecules of different kinds and which may be differentiated by composition, length, degree of branching etc.. no
ChemicalProduct A chemical substance that is produced by a ChemicalReaction. no
Activity See DCAT-AP specs:Activity yes
Reagent A ChemicalSubstance that is consumed or transformed in a ChemicalReaction. no
CatalystSample A MaterialSample that is the product of a catalyst Synthesis.
The specific type of catalyst (e.g. heterogeneous, supported metal)
is expressed via rdf_type using a voc4cat term.
no
Precursor A MaterialSample that serves as input material in a catalyst Synthesis.
Precursors are consumed or transformed during the preparation process.
no
Software An instrument composed of a series of instructions that can be interpreted by or directly executed by a computer. no
Reactor A reactor is a container for controlling a biological or chemical reaction or process. no
PlugFlowReactor Plug flow reactor (PFR) — a tubular reactor in which reactant composition
varies along the axis with no axial mixing.
no
Device A material instrument that is designed to perform a function primarily by means of its mechanical or electrical nature. no
EvaluatedEntity An Entity that is being evaluated in a DataGeneratingActivity. no
Autoclave Autoclave reactor — a sealed pressure vessel for batch reactions at
elevated temperature and/or pressure.
no
ChemicalSubstance A MaterialEntity of constant composition, composed of chemical entities of the same type or of different types. no
MaterialEntity A material is an Entity that has some portion of matter as proper part. no
FixedBedReactor Fixed bed reactor — a tubular reactor packed with a stationary catalyst bed.
The most common reactor type in heterogeneous catalysis testing.
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
Catalyst A ChemicalSubstance or MaterialEntity that initiates or accelerates a ChemicalReaction without itself being affected. no
MaterialSample A Sample that was derived from a previous MaterialSample or some other kind of MaterialEntity. no
ChemicalReaction A process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. no
SlurryReactor Slurry reactor — a three-phase reactor in which catalyst particles are
suspended in a liquid phase through which gas is bubbled.
no
AgenticEntity An entity that is somehow responsible for an Activity to take place. yes
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
EvaluatedActivity An activity or process that is being evaluated in a DataGeneratingActivity. no
ReactorDesignType Abstract Device representing the type of reactor used in a catalytic experiment.
Concrete subclasses specify the reactor geometry and operating mode.
Linked from Reaction via carried_out_by.
no
ChemicalEntity Any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion, complex, conformer etc., identifiable as a separately distinguishable entity. no
