Open karacolada opened 7 months ago

karacolada commented 7 months ago

D5.2 p17+p26

Detailed Description

Even if the software itself is no longer usable or accessible, its metadata should still be available and accessible.

Domain-agnostic comments

Potential locations for persistent metadata records include scholarly repositories (e.g. Zenodo, HAL, OSF), registries or catalogues (e.g. ASCL, bio.tools, swMath), open scholarly infrastructure (e.g. Wikidata, DataCite, IPOL, eLife). The choice of location is dependent on community standards.

CESSDA comments

Software releases of open source components should be published on Zenodo, as per CESSDA’s Publication Policy & Procedures (CESSDA, 2020). Recommended metadata from the CESSDA Technical Guidelines on Software Publication include version, authors, name, description and identifier.

Context

F4: Metadata are FAIR, searchable and indexable. A2: Metadata are accessible, even when the software is no longer available. R3: Software meets domain-relevant community standards. May enable compliance to F1, F1.1, F1.2, F2, F3

Possible Implementation

domain-agnostic
requirements Software identifier
method Check if the software identifier includes a reference to a persistent landing page or other metadata record, and if that metadata is still accessible.
essential A metadata record for the software is present on an infrastructure that guarantees persistence.
important The persistent metadata record is available through public search engines. The metadata has a globally unique and persistent identifier.
useful The persistent metadata record is available through multiple, cross-referenced infrastructures.

CESSDA
requirements Software identifier
method Check that a DOI exists for the latest release and resolves to a Zenodo landing page.
essential The DOI resolves to a Zenodo landing page for the latest release, and metadata can be accessed via the Zenodo API.
important The Zenodo metadata record is available through public search engines.
useful The persistent metadata record is available through multiple, cross-referenced infrastructures, including
OpenAIRE .
