Proper documentation and storage of research data, adhering to FAIR principles, are crucial for reproducibility and scientific integrity. Applied mathematics, producing diverse numerical and symbolic data, heavily relies on models that must be well-documented for replication and future use. Here, we present MathModDB, an ontology for mathematical models, along with a knowledge graph containing over 1200 elements. The work is conducted within the NFDI project entitled Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI).
MathModDB is a database of mathematical models developed by MaRDI's Task Area 4 as an ontology/knowledge graph. MathModDB defines a data model with classes, object properties/relations, data and annotation properties as an ontology. The ontology consists of the classes Mathematical Model, Mathematical Formulation, Computational Task, Quantity [Kind], Research Field and Research Problem. The structure of the ontology is displayed in the image below:
Structure of the MathModDB ontology
The ontology is populated with individuals/data from various fields of applied mathematics, making it a knowledge graph. Next, we show the total number of individuals per class and a detailed list of the individuals, when you click on the respective total number of individuals.
