The 'Platform MaterialDigital' (PMD), supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), focuses on creating a prototypical infrastructure for the digital representation materials science and engineering. The core of the PMDs approach is enabling digitalization in this field through decentralized data servers, standardized data schemas, and digital workflows. A significant development in this initiative is the establishment of the Workflow Store. This feature serves as a central registry and offers guidelines for uniform standards in scientific workflows and their components.

With the first funding phase nearing its end, PMD is entering a pivotal phase. The initial projects, primarily driven by academic research, have set a robust foundation. The ongoing transition marks the beginning of the second funding phase, now spearheaded by industry-led projects. These new endeavors aim to extend the reach and influence of PMD in the materials science community.

At the heart of PMD's strategy are the workflow frameworks pyiron and SimStack, reflecting the platform's emphasis on scientific workflows. Our presentation will cover key developments in this domain, including the integration of semantic data and the semantic description of workflows. Furthermore we will highlight the current status and future roadmap of the Workflow Store as an important tool to spread established workflows and encourage standardization across the community.
