Re: [science-iwg] Thoughts on GitHub archiving guide (for DOIs)?

[Martin Hammitzsch <martin.hammitzsch@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jay,

>From my limited point of view Zenodo is a great free service to get
DOIs quickly for whatever you want. This works for software too.
Especially the GitHub integration makes things easy.

However, summarized you get a DOI for a ZIP file with code and/or with
other stuff which is of unknown quality. Furthermore, the DOI landing
page isn't really under your control and the related ZIP file is
somehow decoupled from the project.

So, you just get a DOI. Nothing more. That's it. This is different
than getting a DOI e.g. for a paper published in a topical journal
that has a high reputation. The Science WG community and other Eclipse
communities should ask themselves what they want to achieve with
minting a DOI to a software release (release not ZIP file).

I think, the Eclipse Foundation should either partner with GitHub and
Zenodo to improve the current solution or to implement a solution on
it's own to allow far better integration with the projects and to
create something that can be compared to a journal which nowadays are
only websites and other stuff around a lot of PDFs with DOIs
(simplified speaking).

I'd be happy to assist to get things going  ...

Cheers,
Martin
