## 27th of January, 2021
**Participants** 
Matus Kalas, Alban Gaignard

**Goal**
setting up the roadmap to take care of the Bioschemas Computational Tools profile

- [ ] Process for modifing a spec
- [ ] Process for REALEASing a spec
- [ ] Priorities in issues 
- [ ] Moving 0.5-DRAFT to production ready spec 
- [ ] Fixing issues for bio.tools content when checking structured data parsing from search engines

Useful links : 
- GitHub issues : https://github.com/BioSchemas/specifications/labels/type%3A%20Tool 
- Profile development process: https://github.com/BioSchemas/specifications/wiki/Bioschemas-Profile-Development-Process 
- Comparison of tools information data models: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JQPI2EauZEc4m8lHocoUbMF4qrYZs6vgBc95JjDNr_E/edit# (the biotoolsSchema manuscript)

Persons to be contacted : 
- Alasdair, Leyla, Ricardo

Concrete todo : 
- use schema.org properties only in the profile spec
    - revert "media object" to EDAM data types for tools inputs and output
- format / data. There are no schema.org attributes for inputs, and only Thing:Service has `serviceOutput` (no input). So we may want to add `input`, `output`, `inputFormat`, `outputFormat`. But how to link those together, and how to link to operations?
- test the "go-web" application to generate the spec based on the spreadsheet
- 



## Next meeting: 25th of Feb, 2021 (Thu) 13:00-18:00
Participants: Alban, Matus
Goal: Go through the whole spec and all issues, fix as much as possible, and identify where we need help/clarification
