      Metadata representation (Codemeta link), tools for automated software metadata extraction (SOMEF)

      T3.1, T3.2, T3.3 (co-lead)

      Best practice collection and implementation. Automate collection of metadata to aid the assessment tools.

      RSE (ongoing)

      Happy to try what other people recommend

      BSC

      Resources that help researchers (easily) make their software more FAIR.

      A tool to edit software metadata and check the FAIRness of a software based on our interpretation of the FAIR principles for software.

      T3.1, T3.2 (lead)

      Best practices collection

      Relying on existing personnel (Laura P. and Eva M.)

      All :)

      T3.1 (co-lead) and T3.3

      Organising workshop for MS3.1. Work with SKAO to determine best way to operate technology watch. Discuss with NLeSC how to structure input into RSQkit.

      Kirsty and Neil providing initial effort, additional person to be assigned

      All the food is delicious!

      Collaborative notes

      • potential topics for discussion in the ad-hoc discussions on Monday morning (for those who’d be able / willing to join)

      • Pablo: We forked the Tech Radar from Zalando in my previous team at CERN:
