Draft proposal on TrainingMaterial profile to Bioschemas v1.2-DRAFT

Proposal for a new type extending schema:CreativeWork, v0.1-DRAFT, and (ii) an updated draft profile for bioschemas:TrainingMaterial, v1.2-DRAFT. We opened two pull requests on Bioschemas Specifications, PR720 for the type and PR721 for the profile. We include here the files for the type (plus an example) and the profile to facilitate future references.

The authors want to thank participants of the hackathons where the crosswalks used as basis for this draft proposal were created, see DOI:10.5281/zenodo.20190407. The first hackathon organized by ZB MED Information Centre for Life Sciences on June 2025, supported by the NFDI4DataScience (part of the German National Research Data Infrastructure -NFDI), Quadriga Competence Center, and DiscoRSE. The second hackathon corresponds to the hackathon project "On the path to machine-actionable training materials" part of the German BioHackathon on December 2025 and supported by ELIXIR Germany and deNBI. 

The authors also want to thank participants in the session "Session Metadata Aspects of Teaching", part of the deRSE26 - Conference for Research Software Engineering in Germany, for their feedback on the crosswalks.

This draft is part of the activities at DiscoRSE, a project funded by  the Klaus Tschira Stiftung, as part of the support programme Scientific Software.
