# Getting started

##

[Bioschemas](http://bioschemas.org/) aims to improve findability and interoperability for Life Science resources. It does so by guiding the use of schema.org markup on Life Science websites. Guidelines include recommendations on the properties to be used together with the cardinality, ONE or MANY. It also offers recommendation on some well-known ontology terms for some particular properties. All those recommendations are what we call a **"Bioschemas Profile"**.

If what we just said is not so clear to you yet, do not worry about; this training portal is here to help you understand how to use Bioschemas Profiles. Find below the right place to start with.

* If you are new to schema.org and Bioschemas, please start with [What and why schema.org](https://bioschemas.gitbook.io/training-portal/tutorials-1/what-and-why-schema-org)
* If you already know about schema.org and want to learn more Bioschemas, please go to [What and why bioschema.org](https://bioschemas.gitbook.io/training-portal/tutorials-1/what-and-why-bioschemas.org)
* If you already know about schema.org and Bioschemas, and you are ready to add markup to your resource, then go to our **How to** section, starting by the [selection of the right profile for your case](https://bioschemas.gitbook.io/training-portal/how-to/how-to-select-the-right-profile-for-your-resource)

For feedback, questions and comments, please [create an issu](https://github.com/BioSchemas/specifications/issues)e and label it "topic:Training Portal"
