Perhaps it's good in that it's providing a low-threshold entry into providing citation metadata at all, and CFF can be transformed into CodeMeta JSONLD anyway via the crosswalk? ... Perhaps CFF (with crosswalkability) is a good starting point? Happy to discuss!
i do agree that CFF with crosswalkability is a good starting point for software citation and we should continue the effort of crosswalking ontologies, because it's the key for a proper Rosetta stone.
I don't think we should force users to use CodeMeta, even if it is a good solution, it might not be suited to all software, sometimes it forces simplifications that can be misinterpreted.
Maybe, as we discussed during the FORCE17-Hackathon, we should take the example of CFF and provide a yaml version of CodeMeta.
Thanks.
As for a YAML version of CodeMeta, once I've completed the Meta module (current CFF is "Core"), CFF is basically that, sans linked data (which I need to look into). CFF-Meta will ensure 1:1 mapability to CodeMeta, if this is possible at all :).
While I agree that we shouldn't force users to do anything, and in fact, we cannot, I also don't really want to see us develop two different solutions to the same problem.
I think what @sdruskat says is CFF-Meta means we won't, which is good :)
This is re ACTION: All to open issues in GitHub to disseminate things they're working on as I had to miss the call unfortunately.
