Description

Big Data in Materials Research and Development is the summary of a 
workshop convened by the National Research Council Standing Committee on 
Defense Materials Manufacturing and Infrastructure in February 2014 to 
discuss the impact of big data on materials and manufacturing. The 
materials science community would benefit from appropriate access to 
data and metadata for materials development, processing, application 
development, and application life cycles. Currently, that access does 
not appear to be sufficiently widespread, and many workshop participants 
captured the constraints and identified potential improvements to enable 
broader access to materials and manufacturing data and metadata. This 
report discusses issues in defense materials, manufacturing and 
infrastructure, including data ownership and access; collaboration and 
exploitation of big data's capabilities; and maintenance of data.
