2. So far… EOSCpilot deliverables (WP7):
D7.1: Skills landscape analysis and competence model
D7.2: Interim report and catalogue of EOSC skills training and educational materials
D7.3: Skills and Capability Framework
EOSCpilot workshops with presentations on FAIR training materials at: EOSCpilot stakeholder forum, EUDAT end conference, IDCC
EOSC-hub training catalogue
TESS and other aggregators

3. FAIR data principles for training materials and events
EOSC training materials and events must be FAIR, i.e. materials and event descriptions must be provided with standard metadata to make them Findable, they must be Accessible from EOSC e-infrastructures, they must be in open standard formats so they are Interoperable with each other and with the data services they are about, and they must be provided on license terms that are as non-restrictive as possible to encourage Reuse.
(conclusions EOSCpilot, Deliverable 7.1, p. 10)
Why make training materials?
EOSCpilot is to develop an EOSC education and training strategy to address the gaps and set up a sustainable technical training infrastructure to ensure shared resources are openly accessible and reusable

4. Results from workshop consultations
What should be EOSCs priorities for skills development?
Top 3:
Catalogue existing provision of training (based on skills framework)
Catalogue provision of other skill resources (e.g. guides and handbooks
Support train the trainer approaches
Also important:
Define minimum standards of training
Fill gaps by developing and / or commissioning training
Less important:
Certification & quality control, brokerage, recognition / badges

5. Metadata content EOSCpilot D7.2
This list is not domain-specific.

6. The follow-up in EOSC-hub
D11.1 Training materials
about common services
and thematic services

7. EOSC-hub training portal
Drupal module (in principle start as manual feed)
Supports local and Identity Federation mechanism
Architecture of the catalogue is based on the EOSCpilot D7.2
Generic material and training material linked to the EOSC service catalogue
Two categories: Training material & Training events
Manual + guidelines
Use of vocabularies, etc.
Living supportive documentation…
No catalogue of catalogues
Catalogue of training materials of EOSC-Hub services
Metadata following EOSCpilot
Manual input
Strong connection to the EOSC service catalogue, parallel growth!
Focus on domain agnostic services for the time being
Additional metadata: persistent identifier for semi-permanent learning resources: video’s, webinar recordings etc.

8. Training e-Suport System - ELIXIR
TeSS is based on bioschema.org is based on schema.org
The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no

9. How does it work?
TeSS is an aggregator of resources of ELIXIR nodes and 3rd parties
It does not hold any training materials.
TESS displays training materials and events
manual entry and automatic retrieval of metadata using bioschemas.org from institutes’ websites using JSON
hackatons for institutes to implement bioschemas.org

10. For discussion…
How do you as an infrastructure or you as an institute publish your training events and training materials?
Do you share your metadata on training resources with other infrastructures or institutes?
What approaches are being used to automate classifying learning resources to create catalogues?
How are costs of manually classifying learning resources being monitored?
Is there a use case for the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (working body of Dublin Core MI), also based on schema.org, to expose learning resource metadata?
What do you think of using persistent identifiers for some training materials?
