This document discusses Bioschemas, which uses Schema.org to add structured metadata tags to life sciences web pages. It provides an overview of Bioschemas activities in 2017, including new specifications and demonstrators for data repositories, datasets, samples, and phenotypes. It also discusses adoption of Bioschemas through tools for discovery and validation, and deployment in resources like OmicsDI and Reactome to improve data findability on the web.

12. ELIXIR/Bioschemas activities
planned for 2017
• Specifications and demonstrators
–Data repository, Dataset, Sample, Phenotype, Beacons and
Protein annotations
• Discovery and validation tools
• Support and community engagement
–Meetings, Hackathons, Knowledge dissemination, Training in
adoption
Better exposure of metadata
to search engines and registries
Better search1 Nov 2017 #bioschemas 13

13. Bioschemas Community
Many stakeholders and work streams.
Lots of enthusiasm.
•Good communication and coordination
• Among partners
• With Bioschemas community
• With schema.org
•Two major activities
