This absence of markup standards to facilitate discovery, re-use, and aggregation of training resources limits their usefulness and knowledge translation potential. Through a joint effort between the Global Organisation for Bioinformatics Learning, Education and Training (GOBLET), the Bioschemas Training community, and the ELIXIR FAIR Training Focus Group, a set of Bioschemas Training profiles has been developed, published, and implemented for life sciences training courses and materials. Here, we describe our development approach and methods, which were based on the Bioschemas model, and present the results for the 3 Bioschemas Training profiles: <jats:italic>TrainingMaterial<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Course<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>CourseInstance<\/jats:italic>. Several implementation challenges were encountered, which we discuss alongside potential solutions. Over time, continued implementation of these Bioschemas Training profiles by training providers will obviate the barriers to skill development, facilitating both the discovery of relevant training events to meet individuals\u2019 learning needs, and the discovery and re-use of training and instructional materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pcbi.1011120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,15]],"date-time":"2023-06-15T17:46:51Z","timestamp":1686851211000},"page":"e1011120","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pcbi.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Bioschemas training profiles: A set of specifications for standardizing training information to facilitate the discovery of training programs and resources"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3986-0510","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Leyla Jael","family":"Castro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9062-6303","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Patricia M.","family":"Palagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2627-0231","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Niall","family":"Beard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2409-4235","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Teresa K.","family":"Attwood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8150-4531","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Michelle D.","family":"Brazas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1038\/sdata.2016.18","article-title":"The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship","volume":"3","author":"MD Wilkinson","year":"2016","journal-title":"Sci Data"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.3233\/DS-190026","article-title":"Towards FAIR principles for research software\u2014IOS Press","volume":"3","author":"A-L Lamprecht","year":"2020","journal-title":"Data Sci"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref003","article-title":"FAIR Principles for Research Software (FAIR4RS Principles)","author":"C Hong","year":"2022","journal-title":"Zenodo"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108","DOI":"10.1162\/dint_a_00033","article-title":"FAIR Computational Workflows","volume":"2","author":"C Goble","year":"2020","journal-title":"Data Intell"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.3163\/1536-5050.103.3.011","article-title":"Research data management","volume":"103","author":"A Surkis","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Med Libr Assoc"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"140","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu601","article-title":"The GOBLET training portal: a global repository of bioinformatics training materials, courses and trainers","volume":"31","author":"M Corpas","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1919","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btt306","article-title":"iAnn: an event sharing platform for the life sciences","volume":"29","author":"RC Jimenez","year":"2013","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3290","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btaa047","article-title":"TeSS: a platform for discovering life-science training opportunities","volume":"36","author":"N Beard","year":"2020","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref009","article-title":"A global perspective on bioinformatics training needs","author":"MD Brazas","year":"2017","journal-title":"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"398","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbx100","article-title":"A global perspective on evolving bioinformatics and data science training needs","volume":"20","author":"TK Attwood","year":"2017","journal-title":"Brief Bioinform"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1004143","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pcbi.1004143","article-title":"GOBLET: The Global Organisation for Bioinformatics Learning, Education and Training","volume":"11","author":"TK Atwood","year":"2015","journal-title":"PLoS Comput Biol"},{"key":"pcbi.1011120.ref012","unstructured":"Bioschemas.
