Dear all,
a couple of months ago, the EOSC
has made
available for public comment a document dedicated to the future of *scholarly
infrastructures relevant for research software*, addressing in particular
the issues one faces when *archiving, referencing and describing* (research)
software source code, as well as giving proper *credit* to its authors.
We are now delighted to announce that the final version is now published.
It is available on the EU bookstore website and you can access it at
https://doi.org/10.2777/28598
This document was developed over six intense months of work from the EOSC
SIRS Task Force that I had the honor to chair together with Jose Benito
Gonzalez from Zenodo/CERN at the request of Jean-Francois Abramatic, chair
of the EOSC Architecture WG.
The task force brought together members of the EOSC Architecture working
group and representatives of 9 established infrastructures of different
scope and size that are already concretely confronted with these issues
when handling (research) software: three *archives*, HAL, Zenodo and
Software Heritage, three Open Access *publishers*, Dagstuhl, eLife and
IPOL, and three *aggregators*, OpenAire, ScanR and swMath.
The document contains a wealth of information that may be of interest to
different RDA groups: with clear examples from real world infrastructures,
a broad panel of detailed use cases, and a roadmap for a future
architecture of collaborating infrastructures leveraging common standards
for metadata, and adopting widely intrinsic and extrinsic identifiers
.
On behalf of all the EOSC SIRS task force, I would like to thank all of you
that provided feedback and contributions.
