Task Area 4: Cooperation with Other Disciplines
Mission
As mathematical model data, software and workflows can be applied in a wide range of disciplines from natural to life sciences and the humanities, the digitization of research data is seen as the main stronghold of mathematics. Working from case studies, TA4 aims to work together with interdisciplinary partners and other NFDI consortia to develop interdisciplinary workflows, standardize mathematical descriptions and create a platform for exchange. This together with the standardization of data within the NFDI framework would emulate the FAIR principles and allow a dependable platform from which other disciplines could benefit from.
Standardization of mathematical descriptions for us means the creation of a database for mathematical models. This development is in progress and is called MathModDB.
Use Cases / Workflows
The documentation of interdisciplinary workflows reflect Measure M4.1. of the MaRDRI research program. It is a crucial part to understand the requirements of the applied sciences with respect to their mathematical grounding. Moreover, it serves as a predecessing step for the development of a mathematical standardization. Please find a list of interdisciplinary use cases our work is based on here: Workflows

MathModDB - A database for mathematical models
As models are a crucial step in the model-simulation pipeline, and mathematical standardization is elementary in our mission statement, the development of a database for mathematical model is justified and reflects Measure M4.2. in the MaRDI research program. The database will be set up as an ontology / knowledgegraph, called MathModDB.
