The grant also funds a series of hackathons to bring together representatives from the community of <b>prospective users<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>In the first virtual hackathon, with lively discussion throughout, we iteratively refined the terminology through the practical annotation of training materials from <a href=\"https:\/\/tess.elixir-europe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ELIXIR TeSS<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datascienceschools.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RDA\/CODATA Summer Schools<\/a>.\u00a0 Thanks to this feedback, the core team will continue to review the terminology, add synonyms, refine the hierarchy and adapt the current model.<\/p>\n<p><a
