ExPaNDS WP2 has the objective of Enabling FAIR Data, providing guidelines, recommendation and practical experience to the project and the wider PaN community on the best practise in generating FAIR experimental data for National RIs. In order for the facility to deliver experimental data “FAIR at the point of leaving the facility”, the infrastructure systems and procedures involved in the facilities experimental lifecycle should be coordinated to construct and maintain the FAIRness of that data. In particular, at each stage in the experimental lifecycle, metadata and contextual information should be collected (automatically and manually) to form as complete a record as possible of the experiment so that that data can be FAIR.
In this report, we give an analysis of the metadata that should be generated and recorded at each stage of the lifecycle and consider its contribution to making that data FAIR. This delivers a prioritization which we use to determine which metadata should be collected. We use that prioritization to make a series of recommendations on the types of metadata that should be collected at each stage. These recommendations give a framework for setting standards for common metadata formats and provide a basis for assessing the FAIRness of data generated by facilities. Further work will develop these draft recommendations into our final recommendations for common metadata formats and use of metadata in practice.

Different communities have developed their terminology and are maintaining their metadata schemata or lists of vocabulary. In order to facilitate sharing of data across communities and allow collaboration between heterogeneous systems, interoperability of these vocabularies is required. In order to increase data interoperability and enable data integration, these vocabularies need to be semantically integrated with other vocabularies and their terms have to be aligned. This enables the development of a common shared vocabulary.

NeXusOntology: Machine-readable ontology of the NeXus definitions.
The published ontology describes the NeXus standard, it does not define the standard.
This ontology extracts information about NeXus classes and fields from NeXus nxdl definition files on the NeXus GitHub site.
This project was undertaken under ExPaNDS WP3.2.
The ontology is designed to fulfil several purposes. First, it creates unique identifiers for each of the NeXus fields which would normally exist only within the namespaces of the defining NeXus classes. This is the primary goal and provides PIDs for annotation and tagging. The second purpose is to allow, via separate ontologies, NeXus fields and classes to be mapped onto equivalent or related terms defined elsewhere.
Finally, we hope that this ontology, when used with a tool such as Protege, will provide a useful 'NeXus Explorer' tool to gain a quick overview of NeXus with links to official NeXus documentation.

The Photon and Neutron Experimental Technique (PaNET) ontology provides a taxonomy of experimental techniques relevant for the Photon and Neutron (PaN) community. This ontology is being developed as part of the Work Package 3 on EOSC Data Catalogue Services for PaN national Research Infrastructures of the ExPaNDS project.
The ontology allows to add semantic tags to datasets, and other related research objects, to indicate the experimental technique(s) that was (or were) used to create them.

https://pan-training.eu/materials/expands-d3-2-ontologies
We present ontologies for the domain of photon and neutron (PaN) science. With the primary goal of supporting PaN FAIR data catalogue services, we have developed three ontologies: PaN experimental techniques (PaNET), an ontology of NeXus definitions (NeXusOntology), and a semantic integration ontology for the PaN domain (PaNmapping). The ontologies are presented as initial versions, supported by community development workflows. The work represents deliverable D3.2 of the Horizon 2020 ExPaNDS project.
