Bioschemas Profiles Propose a new profile

The Bioschemas' profiles define a community agreed layer over the Schema.org vocabulary, providing additional constraints. These constraints capture (i) the information properties agreed by the community which are minimum (M), recommended (R), or optional (O), (ii) the cardinality of the property, i.e. whether it is expected to occur once or many times, and (iii) associated controlled vocabulary terms drawn from existing ontologies.

These guidelines provide community best practice that lead to consistent markup of life sciences resources on the Web. Comments and discussions on the mailing list or GitHub issue tracker are encouraged.


Technical corner
Bioschemas latest released profiles are also provided in machine-readable formats as SHACL shapes in JSON-LD and Turtle syntax.
