1. Introduction
Overview
Welcome, establish the context, set up IDE, set up GitHub logins
Welcome
Following a Bring Your Own Resource hands-on style, in this tutorial we will showcase how to use RO-Crates and Bioschemas to improve FAIRability and will accompany attendees to apply the technologies to their own resources. By “FAIRability”, we mean the your ability to make your research data outcomes more closely follow the FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
We will start with a few warm-up questions using Mentimeter. Please go to menti.com and enter the codes below to participate in the questions (direct link).
Use the left and right arrows above to move between slides. For reference, the questions are:
- Where in the world is your institution?
- What domains (subjects) do you work in?
- What best describes your role?
- Data Analyst, Data Steward, Researcher, Software Developer, Manager, Other
- How confident are you using these tools?
- Bioschemas, schema.org, JSON-LD, RO-Crate, GitHub
- Where 1 is ‘Never heard of it’, 5 is ‘Very confident’
Software needs for the tutorial
GitHub account
Participants should prepare by ensuring they can access their own free GitHub account. If you have not used GitHub for a while, you may need to configure two-factor authentication. See the Software Carpentry page for guidance on creating a GitHub account.
Text editor
You will need to use a text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (macOS). Any plain text editor will work, however, for a better experience, we recommend an IDE such as VSCode (free and built on open source). VSCode will provide features such as syntax highlighting and formatting for JSON documents.
