The agenda release and docs update came a few days later, yes. I think it might have been in the Gem already, albeit experimentally.

This is because CFF is mainly built to support the software citation principles [1], where it is argued (rightly so, if you ask me) that software is important enough to be cited in…

The guarantee is that you have citation information for a specific research output type: software (or dataset, as defined), and that it is the output you have found the CFF file wi…

@software is simply an alias for the fallback @misc, i.e., semantics are lost, no fields like different URLs for different software media (code, build artifacts, etc.), no software…

Not for providing citation metadata for software, where BibTeX misses important fields.

This is indeed something that needs to be solved. I think the current path in the schol comms community leans towards having contributors (with different roles) as well as authors.…

This is something that you can do by providing a `preferred-citation` in a CITATION.cff file. This will be rendered on GitHub as the thing to cite. See the schema guide section abo…

We're trying to bring CFF to other platforms as well, so everything just becomes stickier ;). E.g. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/337368 .

I guess the answer is semantics: who will guarantee (e.g. to downstream services) a CITATION.bib file will contain the metadata for the software in the repo? CFF is single-purpose …

Hi, and thanks for supporting CFF through the Zotero connector (for GitHub repos) now :). FYI, we're in the process of improving the website atm, including a Rationale section, etc…

Now including GitHub, that gives you BibTeX generated from CFF files :).

Hi, co-lead of the CFF project here. One advantage I see is semantics, and that it's single-purpose. Downstream clients (archives, indexers, GitHub citation feature, etc.) know exa…

I've confronted my PhD supervisor (Professor of Library and Information Science) with this statement once, and she almost went berserk. Her take is that free text search is approac…

Software Heritage is doing great things, and will be central to current efforts in research software sustainability, software citation, and most of all reproducible research!

Aims to be, yes. Early stages still, but it's well-supported by a number of institutions, funders, governments even.

Aaaand it's back.

It exist! Not a whitepaper, but at least a Medium article: https://medium.com/@alexberegszaszi/mango-git-completely-dec... . Ethereum + IPFS/Swarm as backend for Git. Source code i…

If all goes belly up there is always Software Heritage ( https://www.softwareheritage.org/ ).

Has been done now. https://status.github.com/messages .

Great concept promising potentially more in-depth experiences than the cpomtetition. I think that the single point of failure of the site would be failure to build a large enough c…
