BioSchemas Open consultation

frenkxs edited this page Feb 3, 2016 · 8 revisions

The Bioschemas community invites all interested parties to take part in the open consultation on the proposed specifications for events, life science organisations and persons. The goal of the consultations is to collect feedback and discuss the specification within the broad life science community and reach an consensus about how to specify and describe life science events, life science organisations and persons.

You can submit your comments directly in the Google documents (below), or you can use the BioSchemas GitHub repository to discuss a specific issue.

For each of the areas (events, person, and organisations), Bioschemas is developing three components (data model, information guidelines and controlled vocabularies). The consultation is open for all three of them.

  • Data model - extension of existing standards in schema.org. This extension will be submitted to schema.org and will - if accepted - become part of the schema standards
  • Minimum information guidelines - guidelines how to use the proposed data model, defining each specification and explaining what kind of information should be provided
  • Controlled vocabularies - controlled vocabularies that will be used to describe some types of information (e.g. scientific topic for events, organisations, etc)
