[gdal-dev] Fwd: DOI for the GDAL project / Springer Handbook of Geoinformatics

[Daniel Scheffler]

Hi!

Using Zenodo, registering a DOI is quite simple. Just create a Zenodo 
account and link the GDAL GitHub repository to it. Zenodo provides you a 
static DOI to reference the whole project and dynamic DOIs everytime a 
new version of GDAL is released on GitHub (to reference specific 
versions which might be important when referencing software). New DOIs 
are created automatically via a webhook. Custom metadata on Zenodo can 
be defined by adding a .zenodo.json file (like this 
<https://git.gfz-potsdam.de/danschef/arosics/-/blob/master/.zenodo.json>) 
to the repository root. Documentation on that is available here 
<https://help.zenodo.org/guides/search/>.
