Bioschemas aims to improve data interoperability in life sciences. It does this by encouraging people in the life sciences to use schema.org markup, so that their websites and services contain consistently structured information. This structured information then makes it easier to discover, collate and analyse distributed data. The main outcome of the Bioschemas community group will be a collection of specifications that provide guidelines to facilitate a more consistent adoption of schema.org markup within the life sciences.
