+# How we support FAIR
+
+Training materials and events are widely dispersed and fragmented, making it challenging for users to identify relevant materials. 
+Training e-Support System (TeSS) is a web-based open-source platform consolidating resources from various providers into an easy-to-use portal. 
+It is a one-stop-shop for trainers and trainees to discover training materials, workshops, and online courses in relevant topics such as data management and open research methods.
+
+For providers, the TeSS Platform makes it easy to make resources [FAIR](http://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2016.18) (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable):
+
+- **Findable**:  A unique, persistent identifier such as [DOI](https://www.doi.org/the-identifier/what-is-a-doi/) is requested for all materials. (For example, [publish your materials in Zenodo](https://help.zenodo.org/docs/get-started/quickstart/) to be assigned a DOI.)
+- **Accessible**: TeSS materials/events are accessible to all registered users via the TeSS website, [widgets](../developers/code-data) or [JSON API](../developers/code-data). Your content will seen more in search results owing to our search-engine optimisation (SEO).
+- **Interoperable**: Metadata uses a standard vocabulary (EDAM for ELIXIR). We expose content using Schema.org (Bioschemas), JSON-LD, and OAI-PMH open standards.
+- **Reusable**: License is requested for all materials, such as Creative Commons.
+
+
+## Interoperate using Linked Data
+
+When you view a material or event on TeSS, there is machine-readable metadata behind the human-readable content. 
+If you were to view the HTML source of the page, you would see this code, written as [JSON-LD](https://json-ld.org/).  
+
+```{image} ../images/overview/metadata-source.png
+:alt: View Source to see the embedded metadata
+:class: mb-1
+:width: 300px
+:align: center
+```
+
+Developers can access this [Bioschemas](https://bioschemas.org)-compliant JSON-LD metadata, without the human-readable HTML, to use interoperate as [Linked Data](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_data). To do this, append `.jsonld` to the URL. For example:
+
+```
+https://tess.elixir-europe.org/materials/how-to-make-your-messy-data-usable-openrefine
+```
+
+...becomes
+```
+https://tess.elixir-europe.org/materials/how-to-make-your-messy-data-usable-openrefine.jsonld
