Marda working Group for PHase Field Schema

Daniel Wheeler

Phase Field Workshop, 2023-08-17

What is a MARDA working Group

• Small group 6-10 people to meet periodically
  • Monthly?
  • Last for one year
• We need some people from outside this group
• 6 working groups thus far, tend to be quite abstract motivation and deliverables
• Deliver a report at the MaRDA meet in Spring 2024

EXAMPLES

• RDA working group on FAIR4RS
  • https://codemeta.github.io/
  • Example
• MaRDA data dictionary working group
  • "lightweight ontology" in an accompanying file
  • https://www.marda-alliance.org/portfolio-item/wg-5-data-dictionaries-working-group/

Motivation

• Improve FAIR and FAIR4RS practices in phase field
  • Make phase field data more F and A (more than I and R
  • Categorize things:
    • software frameworks
    • numerical methods
    • problem specs
  • Registry of phase field simulations
  • AI potential
• David Elbert is enthusiastic and provided useful ideas

data Aspirations

• Collect enough data to
  • evaluate the code implementation verification
    • order of accuracy claim
    • solve consistently
  • evaluate the code solution verification
    • does the code solve the correct equation?
  • validate the code
    • Is the code efficient (best method, language, implemented well)?
  • compare codes
  • make results findable and accessible (FA, not IR)

IMpact / Deliverable ideas

• Generate a schema and use it as basis for PFHub
• Provide tools to generate and lint phase field schema compliant metadata file
  • similar to metadata.json for FAIR4RS
• Generate phase field data examples with metadata
• Demonstrate secondary data aggregation and data views using metadata
• More general registry of phase field problems (and simulations)
• Work with data hosts to improve native metadata descriptors
• Tie in with MaRDA data extractors
