Name Description Modifies Slot
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.
yes
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
