Abstract
The need for a homogeneous nomenclature has become particularly acute due to the increasing digitization and open accessibility of research data provided by peer-reviewed scientific publishers and other online repositories and databases, and the resulting big-data mining approaches. Therefore, basic guidelines for a general nomenclature system based on the crystallographic structure are presented to enable scientists, engineers and technologists to name the crystalline phases detected in glass-ceramics as uniformly and unambiguously as possible and exemplified by quartz, keatite and indialite solid solutions. The adoption of a standardized nomenclature is essential to ensure effective use of the vast scientific knowledge available today in accordance with the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) data management systems.
