Wording around Codemeta #51

Closed c-martinez closed 3 years ago

c-martinez commented 3 years ago

4 states: "The CodeMeta standard ..."

However, @mkuzak pointed out CodeMeta is not a standard. Is it more correct to say "The CodeMeta specification..." ?

mkuzak commented 3 years ago

It's a metadata schema

Visitors do not care what a bunch of CS peeps call it, they are focused on how it can help them

mkuzak commented 3 years ago

It is still factually incorrect. We can find a better term for it but we should not provide incorrect information. I would prefer that we are helpful without being misleading and incorrect and I believe it is possible.

c-martinez commented 3 years ago

So we need to word it in a way which is correct, and still understandable for visitors (which I think it what @jspaaks is hinting at?). If we rephrase the first sentence from:

The CodeMeta standard and the Citation File Format were specifically designed to enable citation of software

To

CodeMeta and the Citation File Format were specifically designed to enable citation of software

It would be: a) understandable for the visitor who doesn't care if it is a standard or a metadata schema b) factually correct

Does that sound like a good solution?

works for me

jspaaks commented 3 years ago

Good with me, thanks for the suggestion
