[ message sent to CURE-FAIR WG, PID IG, SSC IG, SCID WG, and FAIR4RS WG ]
Dear all,
as many of you surely know already, the EOSC
is making available for public comment several key documents this week
during the EOSC (virtual) Symposium
.
One of these documents is 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.
This document was developed over four 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.
Jean-Francois Abramatic's announcement can be found in a dedicated blog post
.
The document is open to public consultation until November 10th, and can be
accessed online
right away.
it 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
.
I hope you will find this material useful, and we look forward to your
feedback and contributions.
