It seems that we really need to define what is a Dataset since don't think we are talking about the same thing. To us, in its most basic form, a 'dataset' is a file of results from a single experiment. I can see this easily expanded to mean and contain a group of files that represent results from a number of similar studies, but beyond that, one has to be creative about its meaning to include the aggregation of results that the MODs do to create the page to which we are trying to apply these structured data tag sets. If we do that, we will at the very least be applying datasets to datasets that are made up of datasets, each potentially made with different elements. That said, I do appreciate trying to keep things simple, and not understanding the implications of going that route, I certainly wouldn't dismiss it. However, I suspect unwanted repercussions to google indexing if we go with the simplest, 'everything is a dataset' route right now. I also want to avoid losing the opportunity to do this right from the beginning. Or if we can't do it totally correct at this point, we should at least put something in place now so that it can be corrected later. So, to respond to EBI (yperez), I agree with you, there is a fundamental difference in dataset from what we would call a datarecord (or other BioChemEntity), and thank you for bringing this up!

Probably I’m wrong but when someone look for a dataset is looking for a collection of data in this case biological data and not individual entries from uniprot or ensembl. It can be counterproductive if we represent all this data in the same place where a dataset from omicsdi or an archive is represented. The main problem I see is for example that users can be looking for an actual dataset when the first 1000 entries are biological records. > > This is actually the main advance of using schema.org over normal search in google (as fast as I understand) you can “classify” the entry pages for some expert categories which make easier the navigation. > > Regards > Sorry if I misunderstood the discussion. > > > On 28 Sep 2018, at 19:57, Karen Yook <karen@wormbase.org> wrote: > > > > Hi Jerven, > > > > Thank you Jerven for suggesting the > > "subtype to schema:StructuredValue e.g. bioschema:BioChemConcept" > > > > And raising the potential problem with sole use of 'Dataset' in the > > current proposed tag set.
