<p>Hi,<br>

<div class="moz-forward-container">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 ?<br>

Hello Even,<br>
<br>
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 ?<br>
<br>
Dear GDAL Project Steering Committee,<br>
<br>
I'm reaching out to you because of an opportunity for the PROJ
community, which surfaced recently:<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The OSGeo projects GRASS GIS, GMT, MapServer, MOSS and rasdaman
have already registered their own DOI, OSGeoLive, pygeoapi and
pycsw will follow soon.<br>
As an example, this is the DOI for GRASS GIS:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5810537">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5810537</a><br>
Hands on information how to register a DOI for a OSGeo project are
available here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Persistent_identifiers(pid)">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Persistent_identifiers(pid)</a>.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Peter<br>
