[CodeMeta] A tool for writing codemeta.json

moranegg opened this issue · comments

Here are some specifications for the use cases and properties that would be nice to have in this type of tool:
Use cases:

  1. create a complete codemeta.json file from scratch
  2. aggregate existing information and add complementary information to a codemeta.json file

Properties:

  • helpers while completing the form, for example a reference list of spdx licenses
  • a validation mechanism after submission
  • the possibility to use all the codeMeta terms and schema.org terms
  • accessible from multiple platforms (web browsers or OS)
  • (extra) the possibility to correct the output after validation as part of the creation process

We started working on a CodeMeta generator at Software Heritage.
Here is the repository.
