CodeMeta

CodeMeta contributors are creating a minimal metadata schema for science software and code, in JSON and XML. The goal of CodeMeta is to create a concept vocabulary that can be used to standardize the exchange of software metadata across repositories and organizations. CodeMeta started by comparing the software metadata used across multiple repositories, which resulted in the CodeMeta Metadata Crosswalk. That crosswalk was then used to generate a set of software metadata concepts, which were arranged into a JSON-LD context for serialization.

See https://codemeta.github.io for a visualization of the crosswalk table and guides for users and developers.

CodeMeta Schema

The schema for released versions of CodeMeta are:

How you can help

Join us! We welcome help formalizing a schema and creating mappings between existing software metadata schemas and the proposed schema. And writing documentation. And evangelizing. And other stuff, however you might be able to contribute.

Send us a pull request if you have any updates to our schema or mappings! See the contribution guide.

Project history

This is an extension of the work done by @arfon, @hubgit, @kaythaney and others on Code as a Research Object / fidgit. Code as a research object is a Mozilla Science Lab (@MozillaScience) project working with community members to explore how we can better integrate code and scientific software into the scholarly workflow. Out of this came fidgit - a proof of concept integration between GitHub and figshare, providing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the code which allows for persistent reference linking.

With codemeta, we want to formalize the schema used to map between the different services (GitHub, figshare, Zenodo) to help others plug into existing systems. Having a standard software metadata interoperability schema will allow other data archivers and libraries join in. This will help keep science on the web shareable and interoperable!

Organizers

The CodeMeta project has a governance model and a governing body to oversee the development and maintenance of the CodeMeta vocabulary, crosswalk table, website, software and other related content.
