Frequently Asked Questions

WS NAN is a Technical Committee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Materials characterization - terminology and structured documentation" and is responsible for: Standardisation is relevant for an integrated technological development. Particularly, early standardisation of terminology has been identified as critical in and to European research projects. The need for standardisation of terminology and metadata in materials characterisation (and for wider materials digitalisation in general) has been outlined in the European Materials Characterisation Council Roadmap (2018), on which this CWA is based. The workshop scope follows the footsteps of the CEN Workshop on Materials modelling terminology, classification and metadata (CWA 17284). Similarly to the materials modelling field, the objective is to agree on a high-level materials characterisation terminology, categorization and a framework for documentation. Hence, this CWA includes definitions of fundamental terms for the field of materials characterisation. The definitions categorisation of materials characterisation methods based on a relatively small number of fundamental aspects of any type of characterisation such as the sample (which include testing environment and length scale), probe, environment and property concepts, replacing the current situation of opacity of materials characterisation methods that make the field hard to access for outsiders. Based on these categories, this CWA provides a systematic description and documentation of methods including the user case, method, raw data generation and analysis and post processing of data: the “materials CHAracterisation DAta” (CHADA). This is similar to the Materials Modelling Metadata (MODA) The CHADA seeks to organise the information so that even complex characterisation workflows can be conveyed more easily and key data about the methods, raw data generation and analysis, and post-processing of data and their implementation can be captured. A template CHADA is described in order to guide users towards a complete documentation of material characterisation. This committee has published 0 standards.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
