Semantic annotation of packages

[sneumann]

Hi, I would like to start / add something on best practices for semantic annotation of software packages. Looking especially for @egonw, but other input more than welcome.

We'd need to collect things we want to see annotated, and examples how this has been done elsewhere.

The Elixir https://bio.tools/ is already collecting packages. including Metabolomics in R or details on xcms. They have some automatism, but the xcms information is kinda outdated.

• We should link the bio.tools pages to our tables, so people can go there.
• We should find out if the bio.tools information can be provided from within the packages, see R/CRAN/BioC content import documentation and policy ? bio-tools/biotoolsRegistry#454
• We should check if metabolomics-related terminology is missing in EDAM
• We could file bug reports for those on github that have very poor bio.tools annotation.
• We could file bug reports for those on github that have not even github tags for their projects.
• Once we have more semantic information, we can see how to get that via bioschemas back into the BioC web pages

Yours,
Steffen
