Guidelines for recommended metadata standard for research software within EOSC

Q3 2023
  • Implementation challenges
    • Metadata and ontologies
  • Result description

    FAIR-IMPACT developed guidelines for the collection and curation of metadata to archive, reference, describe and cite research software by surveying the ecosystem of scholarly infrastructures and review existing guidelines in this area. In this, FAIR-IMPACT will follow recommendations from the EOSC SIRS report and actions from FAIR4RS and evaluate how standard metadata impacts software reproducibility. 

    Problem addressed

    FAIR-IMPACT developed guidelines for the collection and curation of metadata to archive, reference, describe and cite research software by surveying the ecosystem of scholarly infrastructures and review existing guidelines in this area. In this, FAIR-IMPACT will follow recommendations from the EOSC SIRS report and actions from FAIR4RS and evaluate how standard metadata impacts software reproducibility.

    Problem addressed: Individuals and infrastructures require effective guidelines to enhance the archiving, referencing, description, and citation of software, ultimately aiming to improve reproducibility.
