Domain Ontology for Microscopy (DOM)
December 2, 2025 ยท View on GitHub
A domain ontology for microscopy that has a special focus on Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Light Microscopy.
This ontology builds on CHAMEO, and extends the following branches with specialised classes for microscopy:
- characterisation processes
- sample preparation processes
- image processing processes
- measurement results
Based on DOM, specialised sub-domain ontologies for TEM and SEM are under development.
