Thiswork describes theMAEOontology, which models agents, experts, expertise and knowledge providers in general within the context of an online, open marketplace for materials modeling and related collaboration activities. Such a marketplace is meant as a one-stop shop for enabling and accelerating materials modeling in industry, and is currently under development within the Horizon 2020 "Market- Place" project. The MAEO ontology has been developed as the underlying basis for the online platform provided by the project, where users may look for experts with a certain expertise, and the latter may subscribe and be made visible and searchable by the users. As it stands, the MAEO ontology is part of a larger effort of ontological modeling for the Materials Modeling area having the EMMO (European Materials Modeling Ontology) as its root, and as such can be seen as an EMMO-based, application-level ontology. This work thus details the ontology's domain, purpose and structure, and underlines the connection with external ontologies, while also providing a brief description of its usage and technical implementation
