  2. Lifecycle Authorship Research Papers, data, software all research outputs ofa continuous cycle. With software, technologymakes it easier to track, but not reward. We cannot separatepapers, data and softwarewhen we release research. • Cite • Identify Index Reuse http://openresearchsoftware.metajnl.com

  3. Versioning • Why do we version? • To indicate a change • To allow sharing • To confer special status Version control systems make this easy and conceptof a person and an outputare there but not unique Public v1 Public v2 Public v3 Personal v3 Personal v3a Personal v1 Personal v2 Personal v2a Personal v2a

  4. Granularity Function Algorithm Program Library / Suite / Package … • What do we define? • Useful units of reuse

  5. Boundary • What do we choose to identify: • Workflow? • Software that runs workflow? • Software referenced by workflow? • Software dependencies? • What’s the minimum citable part?

  6. Authorship Authorship • Which authors have had what impact on each version of the software? • Who had the largest contribution to the scientific results in a paper? • Can micro-attribution work? Can track author, but not contribution? • http://beyond-impact.org/?p=175 • Why do weidentify? • To measure • Torestrict • To communicate • To include OGSA-DAI projects statistics from Ohloh

  7. 5 Stars of Research Software • Community • There is a community infrastructure • Open • Software has permissive license • Defined • Accurate metadata for the software • Extensible • Usable, modifiable for my purpose • Runnable • I can access and run software C R O E D • c.f. • 5 Stars of Linked Data (Berners-Lee) • 5 Stars of Online Journals (Shotton) “Golden Star” Originally by Ssolbergj CC-BY
