User friendly instructions on how to use Bioschemas for training events and materials

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This deliverable is a publicly available, user-friendly guide on how to use Bioschemas fortraining events and materials, utilizing the ELIXIR Training Lesson template as foundationalinfrastructure. The objective is to provide the first comprehensive guide on Bioschemasannotation for training events and materials, addressing the current lack of such a resource.The guide is built on existing ELIXIR training material about TeSS, derived from the paper“Making Bioinformatics Training Events and Material More Discoverable Using TeSS, theELIXIR Training Portal” (https://doi.org/10.1002/cpz1.682), and technical documentationfrom the Bioschemas portal. It starts with foundational knowledge for non-technical endusers, covers intermediate topics of annotation using static site renderers like mkdocs andJekyll, and concludes with annotation of training material hosted on the popular WordPressContent Management System. The authors of this guide feel the need for future alignmentand collaboration with the members of the BioHackathon 2024 project 10, "Bioschemas forMortals," since a survey executed during this BioHackathon project identified a strong needfor such a guide. Furthermore, participants of the TeSS club and members of theBioschemas community contributed to the current content of the guide. This guide provides background information about the technical components to useBioschemas markup for training assets. This will assist existing and new technicalmaintainers in onboarding and provide clear instructions on using these technical websiterenderers together with Bioschemas markup. The resource and its documentation aredesigned to be open, easily maintained, and tailored for a non-technical audience,promoting better adoption among training coordinators and providers across the Nodes.The integration of Bioschemas markup into ELIXIR-branded training events and materialswill facilitate automatic population when in use, enhancing accessibility and sustainability.
