A Sloan Foundation-funded workshop for editors & maintainers of academic discipline & institutional software registries & repositories
Two major goals of the workshop were to complete the development of best practices for discipline-specific software registries and repositories started in earlier virtual task force meetings and to improve adoption of emerging software metadata file standards, with a focus on CodeMeta and the Citation File Format files, across our varied disciplines. Products of the workshop that support these goals are listed below.
