Are there any consumers of this information?
https://github.com/KlausC/PkgVersion.jl is the only package I am aware of (and that just returns the value)
For reference, GitHub suggests people use the CITATION.cff format, which also provides a richer schema:
authors
can be either a person
or entity
The main differences are:
orcid
is the full URL, not just the 16-digit id (which probably makes sense, as it is easier to copy-paste)website
instead of url
(I don't have strong opinions)name
is only for entities, persons instead use family-names
,given-names
, etc. This is the only one which is a bit sticky, but we could probably just allow either (or both)?I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel, so would be happy to just defer to them, with the modification that users can choose to provide just name
if they would like to.
One minor advantage of using given-names
/family-names
is that it matches the Zenodo fields.
Fixes #3705.
