Bioschemas support to FAIR

Why caring about Training and event Training in life science scientists?

• Explosion of data analyze
• Thousand of possible tools and pipelines for specific analyses
• Find accurate learning path to improve skills and curriculum

Find training through Search Engines is not always easy

• Small labs, departments and organizations do not typically have as much traffic as larger institutions so are ranked lower in search results
• Harder to find advanced or niche topics. Training about common topics and introductory courses are more visible as they’re more popular
• Ending: Search engines are not optimal for finding training

FAIR Model

Findable

• TeSS Portal https://tess.elixir-europe.org
• Use metadata (YAML file, JSON and so on)

Accesible

• Online: HTTP, HTTPS or REST Api (ex: wget, curl)

• https://galaxyproject.github.io/training-material/

• V08_Yvan_Le_Bras-Training_RADSeq

Interoperable

• Metadata description (YAML file, JSON-LD)
• Integration with ontologies as EDAM ONTOLOGY (link with other resources) DAG EDAM Browser
• Integration with FAIR resources (Dataset, tools and so on)
• Technical support for different platforms

Reusable

• Have a license ex: CC BY 4.0 license
• Provenance
• Reach Metadata
• Following community standards

Beyond FAIR

• Open development process on GitHub, GITLab & via Gitter
• Open education movement
• Open Data

TeSS Critical ressource for training in Bioinformatics

Bioschemas on Goblet AGM 2017

• Goblet
• Having schema.org markup in training materials allows training registries to find your materials
• Event vocabulary: schema.org/Event; Event schema has many attributes, which not be important for training materials or courses
• Need to decide if event or course is better, as above groups use Event schema
• Bioschemas.org/TrainingEvent based on schema.org/Event (Topic: EDAM ontology)
• Bioschemas.org/TrainingMaterial based on schema.org/CreativeWork

Methodology for adopting a new profile

• Find and characterize Use cases
  • TeSS and other training websites
• Perform a Cross Walk
  • Compared the metadata presented by 15 training providers
  • Discussed and determined cardinality, minimum, controlled vocabs
• Keep discussion alive with Tasks and issues
• Forum for ongoing discussion via Github Issues
• Make Examples
• Show code examples to give adopters a sense of how to join

Bioschemas Cross Walk (Training Materials)

Adding Bioschemas to a website

• Map existing metadata to fields described by Bioschemas vocabulary
• Create a schema.org Expose those variables

Mapping

Ongoing Work (TeSS and Goblet)

• We are currently working on an enhancement to schema.org/Event. Making Bioschemas for
  • schema.org/Course
  • schema.org/CourseInstance
  • schema.org/Person

Special Thanks

• Goblet AGM 2017
• Niall Bernard
• Prof Terry Attwood

Hands-on

Wrap up

• Bioschemas is a community project which;
  • Creates schema.org specifications for Life science resources : Proteins, Samples, Beacons, Tools, Training, Person, etc
  • Create an enhanced interoperability layer to apply over schema.org
  • Cardinality, Minimum information, controlled vocabularies: this constrains the content and format of the loose schema.org to allow automatic extraction
  • Creates tools to make bioschemas easier to create, validate, and extract
