The first version of the BioSharing catalogue of standards has been released!
It classifies standards into three types:
- reporting requirements (minimal information checklists to report of the same core set of information)
- terminological artifacts (such as controlled vocabularies and ontologies to describe the information)
- exchange formats (to communicate the information)
The catalogue aims to
1. centralize community-developed bioscience standards, linking to other portals open access resources and, progressively, to lists of tools and databases implementing the standards;
2. develop and maintain a set of criteria for assessing the quality and formal rigor of the standards, but also the interoperability and relations among them;
3. foster interoperability, addressing overlaps and duplication of efforts that hamper their wider uptake and interfere with the creation of standards-compliant systems.
