The “Meet the SoftWare Hash Identifier: Do one thing and do it well” webinar will take place on Tuesday April 29th, from 14:00-16:00 CEST. Registration for the workshop is free but mandatory.
Software identification is essential to ensure long-term traceability of scholarly outputs but as often, when it comes to software, things are not as easy as they seem. Research software identification looks like an investigation and calls for tailored solutions. The SoftWare Hash Identifier (SWHID), which is under an ISO standardisation process, provides actionable solutions to the end-users as well as to the repositories managers, metadata curators, etc.
Morane Gruenpeter, Head of Open Science at Software Heritage, will share with the audience key insights about research software identification: What is at stake? What is the added value of the SWHID? How does the SWHID articulate with other types of identifiers? The session aims at supporting the supporters, to prepare them to address the most frequent questions. Last but not least, the audience will be invited to go beyond the technical aspects and to reflect about criteria of trust. The session is designed to be collaborative. Sabrina Granger, Open Science Community Manager at Software Heritage, will facilitate the participants’ journey.
This workshop is open to all but intended for those working as data/research stewards, research software engineers, data repositories, and data service providers. Basic knowledge of persistent identifiers is desired.
