Description
The Life Science Training Materials specification provides a way to describe bioscience training material on the World Wide Web. It defines a set of metadata and vocabularies, built on top of existing technologies and standards, that can be used to represent events in Web pages and applications. The goal of the specification is to make it easier to discover, exchange and integrate life science training material information across the Internet.
Summary of Changes
Changes since previous draft 0.8 of the TrainingMaterials profile:- Adds competencyRequired which is now available
- Updates range for keywords and learningResourceType to reflect changes on schema.org
- Changes keywords to MANY as comma separation is not enough for DefinedTerm or URL (they need a list/array)
