EM Glossary Initiative

Towards semantic interoperability in electron microscopy

The EM Glossary is a HMC moderated initiative mobilizing the community to work on domain-level harmonization of electron microscopy terminology.

The EM Glossary Initiative aims to harmonize domain-level electron microscopy terminology through a community-driven process. This involves domain scientists, method experts, knowledge engineers, and metadata stewards working together to enhance semantic interoperability in the field.

Our outputs reflect the needs of a diverse set of stakeholders and include the EM Glossary Web Explorer, designed for convenient exploration of the terminology for use by domain scientists, and the machine-readable EM Glossary OWL artefact for technical alignment and implementation.

We look forward to your feedback and welcome your contributions. Sign up to our EM Glossary mailing list for regular updates.
