Code Meta-Data for research software, scientific computing and computer-based experiments.

This is a curated list of research software projects providing code meta data, proposed in "JSON-LD for software discovery, reuse and credit", which facilitates replicability, reproducibility and reusability (RRR).

Using an ini-file named CODE was suggested in:

J. Heiland, J. Fehr, C. Himpe and J. Saak. Best Practices for Replicability, Reproducibility and Reusability of Computer-Based Experiments Exemplified by Model Reduction Software. AIMS Mathematics (AIMS Math) 1(3): 261--281, 2016. doi:10.3934/Math.2016.3.261

An additional benefit is the visibility and discoverability of scientific source codes. Add yours!
