Presentation given by Niall Beard in November 2016 at Rothamsted research centre. The presentation is a use case overview of bioschemas (schema.org for science) and how it can be used to structure data included in aggregated registries. The registry is TeSS (https://tess.elixir-uk.org) which collects training events and materials from a distributed heterogeneous collection of sources

• Interlinking with other ELIXIR registries
• ELIXIR Node ‘shop window’ view

• - Every site is unique
• - Some have more treacherous HTML
• Very susceptible to change
• - Fixing is re-implementing.
• - Build up of technical debt
