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

[Even Rouault]

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)

> 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.
