Inheritance

Applicable Classes

Name Description Modifies Slot
CatalysisDataGeneratingActivity A CoreMeta4Cat specialization of DCAT-AP-PLUS's DataGeneratingActivity
that adds a type designator (activity_designator). Synthesis,
Characterization, and Simulation all specialize this class instead of
DataGeneratingActivity directly, so that when one of them is nested
inside CatalysisDataset.was_generated_by, the LinkML Python loader can
tell which concrete subclass a given entry is meant to be and keep its
subclass-specific fields (e.g. Characterization.realized_plan) rather
than falling back to DataGeneratingActivity's own generic slot
definitions.

activity_designator is filled in automatically by LinkML when a class
is instantiated directly (e.g. loading a standalone Synthesis-NNN.yaml
file) -- it does not need to be set by hand there. It only needs to be
set explicitly in the source data when a Synthesis/Characterization/
Simulation instance is nested inside another object's was_generated_by
list (e.g. in a combined CatalysisDataset file), so the loader knows
which of the three to construct.		 no
SubstanceSampleCharacterization A DataGeneratingActivity that produces data about a SubstanceSample, such as a spectroscopic measurement, a physical property determination, or a combined measurement-and-analysis workflow. This is a coarse-grained convenience shape that does not distinguish between raw data acquisition and subsequent data processing or analysis. Domain-specific sub-profiles that need this distinction should define their own DataGeneratingActivity subclasses and use the DCAT-AP+ DataAnalysis chain to separate raw measurement from derived results. no
DataAnalysis An Activity that evaluates the data produced by another Activity. 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.		 yes
DataGeneratingActivity An Activity (process) that has the objective to produce information (in form of a dataset) about another Activity or Entity. no
ReactionMonitoring A DataGeneratingActivity that produces data about a ChemicalReaction, such as reaction monitoring, experimental documentation, or a combined recording-and-evaluation workflow. This is a coarse-grained convenience shape that does not distinguish between raw experimental recording and subsequent data evaluation. Domain-specific sub-profiles that need this distinction should define their own DataGeneratingActivity subclasses and use the DCAT-AP+ DataAnalysis chain to separate raw data from derived results. no
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
Activity See DCAT-AP specs:Activity yes
CatalyticReaction A ChemicalReaction (chemdcat-ap) specialization representing the
catalytic reaction being studied. Inherits the generic reaction slots
(starting materials, reactants, products, catalyst, solvent, reactor,
temperature, pressure, yield, reaction steps) from ChemicalReaction and
adds catalysis-specific operating-condition slots.

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 the inherited used_reactor slot (is_a:
carried_out_by), narrowed here to require a ChemicalReactor instance
rather than touching the generic carried_out_by relation directly.
Reactants are linked via the inherited used_reactant slot (range:
Reagent) -- CatalyticReaction does not declare its own reactant slot.
The type of catalytic reaction (e.g. ammonia synthesis, CO oxidation)
is expressed via rdf_type using a voc4cat or ChemO term.		 no
EvaluatedActivity An activity or process that is being evaluated in a DataGeneratingActivity. no
ChemicalReaction A process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another and that is the subject matter of a DataGeneratingActivity. 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
