How should a science schema look like?
We had a breakout session at the Science Online London 2011 on September 2 with the question "Can we develop something like schema.org to encourage data sharing and reuse?". This story combines the preparation of the session, the presentation given at the session and the results. Follow @LinkedScience on Twitter to hear how the results get implemented and published as a science schema.

At the session we gave a presentation with a title "How should a science schema look like", then divided the audience (45 people or so) to four groups. Each group worked on separate pads to create ideas for a science schema.
- As starting points we mentioned Schema.org and Linked Science Vocabulary.

LODUM: Linked Open Data University of MünsterThe Linked Science Core vocabulary is designed for describing a research setting and to interconnect it to other related things and components (researcher, data, hypothesis, etc.). You may check LSC online at http://linkedscience.org/lsc/ns/. There will be a breakout session at the … The summer vacations have caused a little hiatus during the last couple of weeks here at the LODUM team.As a result of our session we had four pads full of classes, properties and ideas for a science schema!
