Software Management Plans #SMP are getting attention! Two talks today at #deRSE25 @de_rse
Our talk on #machine_actionable #SMP #maSMP and #FAIR4RS available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14866849
An introduction to machine-actionable Software Management Plans - Practical steps towards FAIR4RS
Description: This talk/tutorial introduces Software Management Plans together with a machine-actionable layer based on schema.org metadata. It shows how different bits of maSMPs align and support FAIR4RS, including practical steps towards better descriptions of research software and its corresponding metadata. This talk/tutorial reuses training materials used in other tutorials, they are indicated in the slides as a link to the original material. Keywords: Research software, metadata, FAIR4RS, Software Management Plans, machine-actionability, SMP, maSMP Guiding questions: Part 1 - Introduction to Software Management Plans What is an SMP? What are the benefits of SMPs? Which common practices for research software are included in SMPs? Part 2 - maSMP What is metadata and what are its benefits? How research software metadata aligns to SMPs? How maSMP metadata aligns to FAIR4RS? Learning Outcomes: Describe what SMPs are and what maSMPs add to them Describe what metadata including some examples of research software metadata Identify common good practices supported by maSMPs aligned to FAIR4RS Requirements/Prerrequisites: Basic experience with research software development Some knowledge of Data Management Plans could be useful Additional info: Time estimation 60 minutes Level Beginner / Introductory Published 2025-02-24 Latest modification 2025-02-24 License CC-By 4.0 Version 1.0.0 Identifier DOI:10.5281/zenodo.14866849.
