ok, based on the various input, I gave a try at the system.

- https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/5101 adds a .zenodo.json file. I've taken the 16th top committers according to github. If folks want to be removed or added or have their information modified (I've looked orcid identifiers quickly so I may have missed folks), please add comments in the ticket, or better create a pull request  to amend it

- I've used the sandbox.zenodo.org system and create a dummy release in my fork to check that it works properly: https://sandbox.zenodo.org/account/settings/github/repository/rouault/gdal (do not use the DOI from there. it is just dummy)

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
