%X The process of open innovation based on advanced materials involves the collaborative sharing of knowledge, ideas, and resources among different organizations such as academic institutions, businesses, and government agencies. To accelerate the development of new materials and technologies and to address complex material challenges, it is suggested that Business Process Modeling and Notations (BPMN) and Elementary Multiperspective Material Ontology (EMMO) be closely integrated. In this paper, we examine the integration of EMMO and BPMN through an initial investigation with the aim of streamlining workflows, enhancing communication, and improving the understanding of materials knowledge. We propose a four-step approach to integrate both ontologies which involves ontology alignment, mapping, integration, and validation. Our approach supports faster and more cost-effective research and development processes, leading to more effective and innovative solutions.
