dataportal

The dataportal tab of the MatWerk workbook currently holds 62 rows. Every row follows the same shape, and that shape is the pattern below: a entity instance carrying the row's identity, denoted by value node nodes that hold its values, and object properties pointing at entities in other tabs.

How to read it

• The entity is typed nfdi:NFDI_0000123 (data portal) and carries only its identity, its label, and links.
• A column marked I does not contain a value — it contains the label of another instance, which ROBOT resolves at build time. That is why every value node needs a unique label, and why a typo produces a silently missing relation rather than an error.
• Columns marked A are literals on the entity itself.

Components (value nodes)

These value-node types live in the workbook's shared req_2 tab but belong to this pattern — they exist to describe it, and are counted by how often this tab references them.

Component	Class	References
standard	nfdi:NFDI_0000206	10
repository hosting data portal	nfdi:NFDI_0001202	7
data format specification	obo:IAO_0000098	1

Query it

Retrieve instances of this pattern from the MatWerk Knowledge Graph (SPARQL endpoint):

SELECT ?x ?label WHERE { ?x a <https://nfdi.fiz-karlsruhe.de/ontology/NFDI_0000123> ; <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IAO_0000235> ?d . ?d <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> ?label } LIMIT 10

The rows behind it are curated in the dataportal tab of the workbook.

Competency questions

The questions this pattern exists to answer. Each is answerable against the published graphs.

1. Which data portals and repositories does NFDI-MatWerk reference?
2. Which organisation hosts a given portal, and what access conditions apply?
3. Which data formats and PID systems does a given repository support?

The Ontology Design Patterns content-ODP annotation schema, in the community's own field order, so a reader who knows ODP pages can read this one without translation.

Field	Value
Name	dataportal
Submitted by	the NFDI-MatWerk consortium
Also Known As	the dataportal template tab of the NFDI-MatWerk workbook
Intent	To represent a data portal in the MatWerk Knowledge Graph: its identity, the value nodes that describe it, and its links to the other entities the NFDI-MatWerk consortium records.
Domains	research data management; NFDI consortium structure
Competency Questions	Which data portals and repositories does NFDI-MatWerk reference?; Which organisation hosts a given portal, and what access conditions apply?; Which data formats and PID systems does a given repository support?
Solution description	An entity individual typed nfdi:NFDI_0000123 carries identity and label; each descriptive value is a separate value node individual reached by obo:IAO_0000235 (denoted by); links to other patterns are object properties onto those entities. Identity is a minted IRI msekg:<epoch_ms><counter>, so re-running the pipeline is idempotent.
Reusable OWL Building Block	module.ttl — the example together with the axioms of every term it uses, extracted from the ontology, so the file stands alone
Consequences	Values become reusable and independently addressable, and a value may be shared by many entities. The cost: every I reference resolves by label, so labels must be unique and a typo yields a silently missing relation rather than an error.

Formal characterisation

Measure	Value
Consistency	consistent — ROBOT 1.9.10, reasoner HermiT, merged with MWO 3.0.1
DL expressivity	RRESTRCUCINTUNIVRESTREROIF(D) — measured on the pattern together with a STAR module of exactly the terms it uses, so the figure describes this pattern rather than the whole ontology
Axioms / logical axioms	20 / 7
Classes / individuals	7 / 7

Consistency

pattern.ttl is checked against MWO 3.0.1 with ROBOT (--reasoner hermit) — the same reasoner process_spreadsheets runs over every generated module. A pattern that contradicts the ontology fails the documentation build.
