[CodeMeta] A tool for writing codemeta.json

[moranegg]

Here are some specifications for the use cases and properties that would be nice to have in this type of tool: Use cases:

1. create a complete codemeta.json file from scratch
2. aggregate existing information and add complementary information to a codemeta.json file

Properties:

• helpers while completing the form, for example a reference list of spdx licenses
• a validation mechanism after submission
• the possibility to use all the codeMeta terms and schema.org terms
• accessible from multiple platforms (web browsers or OS)
• (extra) the possibility to correct the output after validation as part of the creation process

We started working on a CodeMeta generator at Software Heritage. Here is the repository.
