Get a DOI for each release.

We weren't intending on having releases, per se. What is your use case for having versioned DOIs for the RAIDO software, versus a single DOI that refers to all versions of RAIDO/RAIDO the service?

Note that we do plan to offer citability of raid data exports. When a researcher wants to work with raids, it is expected that they will request a data export. Then we'll (asynchronously) process that data export and upload it to Zenodo, which will assign a DOI for that specific data extract. Note that we've no previous experience integrating with Zenodo. This plan is predicated on the hope Zenodo will support and allow us to use it in this way.

That's great you're planning regular (RAiD) data releases. In the spirit of Open Science / FAIRness, one should embrace citations of all research assets including software (such as RAIDO).

In another context I have been speaking with Aleem Uddin here at the ARDC about software citation, I'll ask him...
