Outline
• What is BioSharing?
• How do we describe and link standards?
• Exploring the landscape of standards, databases
and data policies in the life sciences
• The BioSharing RDA/FORCE 11 WG – working with
the community
What is BioSharing?
A web-based, curated and searchable portal that monitors the development and evolution of standards, their use in databases and the adoption of both in data
policies, to inform and educate the user community.
Data policies by funders, journals and other organizations
(>100)
Database, tools and services
(>1000)
Content standards(>700)
Complex and evolving landscape
Formats Terminologies Guidelines
Ready for use, implementation, or recommendation
In development
Status uncertain
Deprecated as subsumed or superseded
Manually curated, approved by the community
Using indicators to describe the ‘status’ of a resource
Collections group together
one or more types of
resource by domain,
project or organization.
Recommendations are a
core-set of resources that
are selected and
recommended by a funder
or journal data policy.
Different cuts of the data
“BioSharing and its interactive browser will allow us to discover which databases and standards are not currently included in our author guidelines, enabling us to regularly monitor and refine our policies as appropriate, in support of our mission to help our authors enhance the reproducibility of their work.” – Holly Murray, F1000Research
What we do
Inform – what’s out there, which databases use which standards. Map the landscape.
Educate – what databases are recommended by your funder, or journal of choice, which standards should you be using, which standards and databases should you recommend? Explore the landscape.
Aims of the BioSharing WG• To develop principles for linking information on
databases, content standards and journal and funder data policies in the life sciences• To develop a curated registry (running since 2011),
to access and cross-search this information, such that a variety of stakeholders can make decisions on which standards and databases to use or endorse
Standards Registry Survey: • 533 responses from RDA, FORCE11, NIH (US), ELIXIR (UK)• Provides a review of BioSharing content and
functionality• Defines BioSharing activities under the US NIH BD2K
initiative, and the European excelerate interoperability package
• 10 questions, detailing content, functionality and indicators of standards maturity/use etc.
BioSharing Standards Survey – January 2016
The Standards Registry Survey Shows:
• BioSharing already fulfills ~80% of user needs, which:• are not limited to standards but extend to databases
and policies• require an (curated) informational and educational
system, not simply a registry.
• BioSharing is uniquely positioned because of its cross-linked content types, functionalities, community endorsement and user base.
