Our working group's objectives include increasing the visibility of Bioconductor packages to a broader audience, including those not primarily using R, and expanding EDAM as a standard for annotating computational biology resources. Through this collaboration, we aim to synergize two large, international communities focused on open science. Future plans may include exploring connections with bio.tools, Bioschemas, and TeSS.
