  Advanced materials and their applications have become a key field of
research, and it looks like this trend is not going to change soon. For that
reason, the need for systematic and efficient methods for organizing knowledge
in the field and conduct computational or experimental investigations is
stronger than ever. In this work, we present a basic implementation of MAMBO -
an ontology for molecular materials and their applications in real-life
scenarios. The development of MAMBO has been guided by the needs of the
research community involved in the development of novel materials with
functional properties, with particular attention to the nanoscale. MAMBO aims
at extending the current work in the field, while retaining a modular nature in
order to allow straightforward extension of concepts and relations to
neighboring domains. Our work is expected to enable the systematic integration
of computational and experimental data in specific domains of interest
(nanomaterials, molecular materials, organic an polymeric materials,
supramolecular and bio-organic systems, etc.). Moreover, MAMBO is developed
with a strong focus on the applications of data-driven frameworks for the
design of novel materials with tailored characteristics.
