Dear colleagues,

I am writing you to announce an ELIXIR-NL/DTL event& hackathon that we are hosting in Utrecht early February that might be interesting for you or members of your organisation. Registration is free of charge.

Please spread this further to people who are working with resources in Training, Biobanks, Samples, Beacons, Tools and would benefit of making their resources better annotated and better visible and findable.

Thank you!

Best

Celia

Dear colleague,

Are you a training provider/organizer with a catalogue of training events and/or training materials or a data provider, curator or manager of Life Science resources such as Biobanks, Proteins, Samples, Beacons, Tools? Then this hackathon may be very relevant for you!

DTL and ELIXIR-NL are organising a workshop/hackathon for content providers of Life Science resources such as Proteins, Samples, Beacons, Tools, and Training events and materials. Join this event to learn how to make your resources rank higher on (Google, Bing, Yahoo and other) search result pages or include your resource in relevant registries (like TeSS, the ELIXIR Training Portal) and receive more web traffic can raise the exposure of your work to be found by larger audiences.

The event will start at lunch time on Thursday February 7 and will finish on Friday February 8 at 4pm. Participants can register either for the first day (Feb 7) or for both days (Feb 7 + Feb 8).

In the first half day of this 1.5 day event participants will learn about schema.org and bioschemas from experts working on Bioschemas definitions and implementations for ELIXIR resources and they will get some examples of successful Bioschemas implementations in Life Science resources, both from within and outside the Netherlands. This day is suitable for anyone wanting to learn more about schema.org, bioschemas annotations and how they can help increase the visibility of Life Science web resources.

The second day will have the form of a hackathon during which participants will work on adding Bioschemas metadata to their resources with the help of the experts. To make it possible participants will need the skills to modify the source code behind the web pages of the resource as well as have the access and permission to do it. For training materials and events we will also add them to the ELIXIR’s Training Portal TeSS.

You can find the agenda of the meeting on the DTL website and register here (free of charge).

We are looking forward to seeing you at the event!

On behalf of DTL/ELIXIR-NL,

Celia van Gelder and Mateusz Kuzak
