Common Metadata Framework – extending the Crosswalks to Mobilize Computable Biomedical Knowledge (Brian S. Alper, Computable Publishing LLC, Scientific Knowledge Accelerator Foundation) 

CCADI to talk about their metadata mediator/semantic mediator (tooling built to mediate between various schemas through crosswalks created by the CCADI team — and used our crosswalks to jump off from) (Rebekah Ingram)

A mapping process for RDF data from different data models/ontologies to schema.org using SPARQL CONSTRUCT queries (Tobias Schweizer, SWITCH)

Additional links to informative material
This working group was endorsed in September 2019, as a spinoff from a task force “Using schema.org for Research Dataset Discovery” of the RDA Data Discovery Paradigms IG.
The group’s case statement is available here. 
The group has delivered the following two outputs:

RDA endorsed recommendation: Guidelines for publishing structured metadata on the Web
RDA supporting output: A Collection of Crosswalks from Fifteen Research Data Schemas to Schema.org

So far, the group has organised the following activities:

A group session at the P18 (Session page)

A group session at the P17 (Session page)

A group session at the P16 (Session page)

A group session at the P15 (Session page)

A group session at the P14 (Session page)

A BoF session at the P13 (Session page).

A un-conferencing session at P12 (slides) (Organised by the DDP IG).

Discussed starting a task force in DDP IG session at P11 (slides).

The group organises regular bi-monthly virtual meetings in 2022 (Please join the group to get meeting reminder)

Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
This working group provides a platform to complement, build on and extend efforts from bioschema.org, science-on-schema.org and the like communities in applying and extending the core schema.org vocabulary for describing research datasets and related resources. 
The outputs include: 

A generic ‘conceptual data model’ with essential types and properties for research data discovery over the web. The model will be built on bioschemas.org, science-on-schema.org, schema.org, DCAT, DDI-DISCO and SSN schemas from some representative research domains, and data discovery use cases. A research domain can map their schema to the conceptual model when they publish data to the web or exchange metadata between data portals/repositories.

Guidelines of common patterns for publishing metadata landing pages with structured data markup, and guidelines of how to customise the research schemas for targeted domains with examples.

Toolings for making the implementation easier if resources are available. This could include collecting and cataloguing tools that generate, validate and parse schema.org & DCAT markup, etc.

Meeting objectives
The Research Metadata Schemas Working Group has planned three tasks when started: 1) Guidelines for publishing structured metadata markup,  2) A generic conceptual data model and 3) Toolings for supporting the publishing process. The group has delivered two outputs to support the first two tasks in the past  two years. On that context, our objectives of this session include: 

Introduce the group to new RDA members

Introduce the two outputs from the group: 

Guidelines for publishing structured metadata on the web

A collection of crosswalks from fifteen research data schemas to Schema.org

Showcase and discuss output adoption use cases

Start discussion on the topic: Toolings for making the implementation of structured metadata
