To better understand our work, it is helpful to know some of the key terms and concepts we rely on, such as ontologies, metadata schemas, and other standards. This section explains why these concepts matter, how they are used, and their specific relevance within NFDI4Energy. We also provide pointers to the task areas and services associated with them, along with links to additional resources.
