SPRINGER BRIEFS IN APPLIED SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY Martin Thomas Horsch Silvia Chiacchiera Welchy Leite Cavalcanti Björn Schembera Data Technology in Materials Modelling SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology SpringerBriefs present concise summaries of cutting-edge research and practical applications across a wide spectrum of fields. Featuring compact volumes of 50 to 125 pages, the series covers a range of content from professional to academic. Typical publications can be: • A timely report of state-of-the art methods • An introduction to or a manual for the application of mathematical or computer techniques • A bridge between new research results, as published in journal articles • A snapshot of a hot or emerging topic • An in-depth case study • A presentation of core concepts that students must understand in order to make independent contributions SpringerBriefs are characterized by fast, global electronic dissemination, standard publishing contracts, standardized manuscript preparation and formatting guidelines, and expedited production schedules. On the one hand, SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology are devoted to the publication of fundamentals and applications within the different classical engineering disciplines as well as in interdisciplinary fields that recently emerged between these areas. On the other hand, as the boundary separating fundamental research and applied technology is more and more dissolving, this series is particularly open to trans-disciplinary topics between fundamental science and engineering. Indexed by EI-Compendex, SCOPUS and Springerlink.

This work targets applications in the engineering sciences as well as industrial research and development in chemical and mechanical process technology. Digitalization in these fields is sig- nificantly advanced by public funding, notably through EU’s Horizon 2020 and (prospectively) Horizon Europe programmes, the DFG programme for National Research Data Infrastructures (NFDI) and BMBF programmes including Material Digital, among many others. The viability and uptake of metadata standards and digital platforms depend strongly on an exchange of ideas between development efforts. In our field, com- munity organizations such as the Research Data Alliance, the European Materials Modelling Council and CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) support this exchange through a multitude of events, white papers, and coordinated activities and task groups. It is our hope that all these endeavours will collaborate as closely as possible and jointly be successful at making FAIR data management ubiquitous in materials modelling. This work is intended as an input to this collaboration that is necessary, in our view. It is therefore intentionally pub- lished at a stage long before these developments can be regarded as finished, and we would like to encourage its readers to take this as an opportunity to engage in criticism and formulate recommendations for future work.
