Issues for discussion
- In the effort of harmonizing metadata :
- should we strive to contain all domains, every use case and every exception?
- should we keep only the vital minimum for citation and search?
- Terminology : What is Software ?
- distinguishing between a software entity and a software project
- distinguishing between software "object"(executable) and software source code
- different versions form one software entity?
