Here we present a proof-of-concept using Bioschemas, RO-Crate and Signposting as a lightweight approach to FDOs describing research outcomes exposed on GitHub pages. Research artifacts produced by a research and development team, namely the SemTec team at ZB MED, are exposed via GitHub pages and enriched with structured metadata using schema.org and Bioschemas. Research artifacts corresponding to the same research project are put together in an RO-Crate. Signposting is used on the GitHub landing pages. The combination of these three elements facilitates rich FAIR metadata for research artifacts.
