Showcase 7: Formulated consumer products

Fluid complex mixtures (involving solvents, salts, surfactants, etc.), that, for example, are commonly used to produce personal care, food, and cleaning products. Broadly speaking, this use case involves data on material properties (chemical and physical properties from either simulations or experiments), information about purchasing raw materials, and relevant existing patents. All this information comes from various web-based sources, which display heterogeneity at multiple levels. In fact, in general, different sources might use different data formats, different terms for the same entities and even different perspectives to describe the same domain (corresponding to syntactic, terminological, and conceptual heterogeneity, respectively, following Euzenat & Shvaiko). DOME 4.0 will provide an entry point that enables a simultaneous query across the various data sources and will combine, and where possible harmonize, their answers.
