[Feature]: [FRSM-07] Does the software metadata include the identifier for the software?

D5.2 p16+p26

Detailed Description

Software should include its identifier to make it easier to be cited and indexed.

Domain-agnostic comments

There are several common places for identifier metadata to be found, including README files, CodeMeta or CFF files. The choice of location may depend on community standards.

CESSDA comments

The Zenodo DOI representing all versions will always resolve to the latest version in Zenodo.

CESSDA uses Citation File Format, which can include a reference to the software identifier.

Context

F3: Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the software they describe. R3: Software meets domain-relevant community standards.

Possible Implementation

domain-agnostic


requirements	software source code, software identifier
method	Check if the software includes its own software identifier, and that the identifier resolves to that software.
essential	Does the software include an identifier in the README or citation file?
important	Does the identifier resolve to the same instance of the software?
useful	n/a

essential	The README file includes the DOI that represents all versions in Zenodo.
