BITS Kick-off Meeting
Zoom
The BITS (Bioconductor into TeSS and Beyond) project will automate the collection and publication of FAIR metadata about Bioconductor training resources in TeSS, reducing manual curation and improving the discoverability and reuse of training materials.
The kick-off meeting will bring together members of the Bioconductor training community, TeSS developers and curators, project partners, and others interested in FAIR training metadata, training catalogues and interoperability.
The approaches developed through BITS may also be relevant to other communities looking to improve the aggregation, interoperability and discoverability of distributed training resources.
