52nd HiRSE Seminar

On Wednesday, 25th March at 11:00 CET, Morane Gruenpeter from Software Heritage will join us at the HiRSE Seminar Series to talk about “Making Research Software Visible, Citable, and Preserved: A Metadata Deep Dive for RSEs”

Abstract:
Research software is increasingly recognized as a core research output, yet it often remains difficult to discover, cite, and preserve. Metadata plays a key role and requires dedicated effort to provide high-quality information. This seminar offers a practical deep dive into the metadata initiatives around research software, including standards such as CodeMeta, persistent identifiers like SWHIDs, and the role of Software Heritage as the universal archive of source code. It will explore how Research Software Engineers and institutions can integrate these elements into their workflows to improve discoverability, reproducibility, and long-term preservation. The session will conclude with practical recommendations on how to structure and expose software metadata so that research software becomes visible, citable, and preserved as part of the scholarly record.
