Hi,
see below. Do we want to do that ? I'm not seeing any obvious
disadvantage, but I've never worked with DOI before. If so, anyone who
want to take the lead on that ?

Hello Even,
I'm writing to you as OSgeo Vice President for GDAL concerning an
opportunity for the GDAL project. Could you please forward the following
message to the GDAL PSC - or please tell me about a better way to
contact the PSC directly ?
Dear GDAL Project Steering Committee,
I'm reaching out to you because of an opportunity for the PROJ
community, which surfaced recently:
The upcoming second edition of the Springer Handbook of Geoinformatics
will cover the GDAL project. The Handbook project has been delayed due
to the Pandemic, but will be completed in a few weeks. I am serving as
the editor of the Handbook chapter about Open Source Geoinformatics.
Recently, new workflows for scientific citation of software projects
have emerged and are becoming state of the art. This includes references
by persistent digital object identifiers (DOI) to software projects
instead of URLs. DOI-based references allow to give due credit to the
whole project team, including first authors, developers, but also
maintainers and people in other roles.
The OSGeo projects GRASS GIS, GMT, MapServer, MOSS and rasdaman have
already registered their own DOI, OSGeoLive, pygeoapi and pycsw will
follow soon.
As an example, this is the DOI for GRASS GIS:
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5810537
Hands on information how to register a DOI for a OSGeo project are
available here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Persistent_identifiers(pid).
The Editors of the Springer Handbook agree that including DOI references
for Open Source projects is a win-win-scenario for the upcoming book and
also the OSGeo project communities. They have extended the production
deadline until January 20 to give additional software projects the
opportunity to register a DOI to be included in the book chapter.
If the GDAL project reserves or registers a DOI (takes only a few
minutes) before the deadline of January 20, I would gladly include it in
the Open Source Geoinformatics chapter reference section.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Peter
