Description:
Various data intensive initiatives are taking place in South Africa that will involve in the storing and describing of genomics data in various platforms. The utility of data for research and reuse is how well structured and described the data and meta-data records are as this contributes towards making data FAIR. Bioschemas (https://bioschemas.org/) aims to improve data findability and interoperability in life sciences. It does this by encouraging people in life science to use schema.org markup, so that their websites and services contain consistently structured information. This structured information then makes it easier to discover, collate and analyse distributed data. The main outcome of Bioschemas is a collection of specifications that provide guidelines to facilitate a more consistent adoption of schema.org markup within the life sciences. The course will consist of two parts, an introduction and overview of Bioschemas, current implementation cases and a second part where participants with a technical computing background and access to their repository can work on implementing bioschemas and bioschema type forms on their websites for data deposit.
