Repositories #63

danielskatz commented 5 years ago

Based on discussion in Section 1 of A&P google doc

Should we provide any guidance on which repositories should be used for software?

moranegg commented 5 years ago

I think an up to date list of repositories or deposit archives can be helpful for users/researchers, at least to know what the options are. Maybe as an annexe to the document?

Possible things checklist?

version control API (with ability to provide specific, persistent, unique identifier to a particular version)
persistence of project information (if the author deletes a project, the information about the project remains)
persistence of the artefact? (is this required)
enable versions/revisions to be linked
to enable understanding of whether the information has been validated / reviewed?
to enable understanding of whether the artefact has been validated / reviewed?

For geosciences, they've published preferred repositories.

Ask Lorraine Hwang whether the list of criteria used to choose these have been published?

npch commented 5 years ago

Also ask Shelley Stall and @daslerr about this as well.
