Data Managers are currently investigating the value proposition of Schema.org (SDO) with a lightweight implementation that couples the SDO vocabulary with indexing Google Dataset Search. This pathway essentially ‘webifies’ dataset search and syndication and enhances dataset discovery.

This Webinar’s aim is to highlight current initiatives within the Research Data Management (RDM) community and the work currently being completed relating with SDO. To begin, we will introduce the ITO’s Schema.org for Research Data Managers: a Primer, which leads into the current resources available in the RDM community including the crosswalks collected by the Research Data Alliances (RDA) Research Metadata Schemas Working Group and their user-friendly crosswalk visualizations, and finishing off with a synopsis of ESIP’s SDO science-on-schema community extension.
