Hi Devs. There is an interesting new software citation style:
*biblatex-software*.
https://www.softwareheritage.org/2020/05/26/citing-software-with-style/
It might be nice to add an example in this style to the GRASS Citation
Repository <https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Citation_Repository>.
It also has a *softwaremodule* entry type that would be useful for
referring to specific GRASS modules.

Perhaps a citation like this:

@software {GRASS,
title = {Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS GIS) Software,
Version 8.3},
author = {{GRASS Development Team}},
organization = {Open Source Geospatial Foundation},
year = {2023},
license = {GNU General Public License},
url = {https://grass.osgeo.org},
doi = {10.5281/zenodo.5176030},
version = {8.3.0},
repository= {https://github.com/OSGeo/grass}
}

There is also a field for SoftWare Heritage persistent IDentifiers
<https://docs.softwareheritage.org/devel/swh-model/persistent-identifiers.html>
(SWHIDs).
The SWHID for GRASS is rather long though:
swh:1:snp:3c3683c9e16b40dd8dd8851cec807eca58a902d9;origin=
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass

Just a thought.
Brendan
