Data types

Controlled ontology

Preferably, will use a controlled ontology to ensure machine readability and comparability across profiles.

• Hard skills (preferably within a controlled ontology)
• Soft skills
• Research areas

Ontologies

• Medical Subject Headings: Very comprehensive; includes Natural Science Disciplines, Investigative Techniques, and Information Science.
• EDAM - Bioscientific data analysis ontology
• BioAssay Ontology

Freeform terms

Do not need to use a controlled ontology (but could still do some NLP to get into machine-readable format).

• Active projects
• Past projects
• Publications
• GitHub repos

Data sources

Pull data from platforms that lab members are already using:

• GitHub: Extending GH profiles.
• Labstep: API
