    Report-back, bringing discussions together (~15 min)

    Discussion (~15 min)

    Feedback to the group’s progress and future activities

    Meeting objectives

    The proposed session has the following objectives:

    To introduce the group to new audiences

    To talk about different types of identifiers that can be used for software, e.g. DOI, ARK, Handle, registry identifiers (SwMath-ID, ASCL-ID, HAL-ID, etc.), GitHub URLs, Software Heritage’s SWH-ID, Wikidata entity identifiers, etc. 

    To review collected identification use cases and collect new use cases.

    To review collected identification schemes 

    To document identification schemes used for specific use cases (continue a discussion started at FORCE2019’s Research Software Hackathon as a software artifact identification  mapping, where we started a bottom-up approach, naming “things” that can be referenced when trying to identify software, to build a use case to identifier mapping: [Use case] [Software entity/artifact and granularity level] [ID used])

    To discuss one of the contexts for which identifiers are of utmost importance: Citation of software projects for proper credit attribution

    To discuss challenges, pros, and cons of various identifiers for the various use cases  

    To seek input and feedback from participants and other RDA WGs/IGs for future activities
