This is a community-run site intended to inform anyone with an interest in software indexing.
A software index often provides the base data for a software map, please visit softwaremapping.org for more information.
Software indexing is the collaborative process of surveying high-level software asset information and recording in an active/verifiable index.
A master store for high-level software asset metadata. This could be anything from a spreadsheet to a vendor product.
Some aspects of a good software index might include:
- Easy to access and search
- Broadly consumable
- Acts as a launching pad (e.g. web links) to reach more detailed information in other systems
- Open for read/write by other systems (APIs & Webhooks)
Some aspects of a bad software index might include:
- Hard to access or rest
- Too complex to be broadly consumable
