论文摘要
软件和软件源代码尤其是在现代研究中广泛使用。为了建立稳定且持久的科学知识语料库，必须对其进行适当的存档，引用，描述和引用。在本文中，我们展示了如何通过无缝地归档所有公开可用的软件源代码，以及通过提供固有的持久标识符来完全解决前两个问题的方法，以充分解决前两个问题，并以同一时间和有效的方式提供固有的持久标识符，以在各种粒度上引用它。我们呼吁研究界广泛采用这种方法。
Software, and software source code in particular, is widely used in modern research. It must be properly archived, referenced, described and cited in order to build a stable and long lasting corpus of scientic knowledge. In this article we show how the Software Heritage universal source code archive provides a means to fully address the first two concerns, by archiving seamlessly all publicly available software source code, and by providing intrinsic persistent identifiers that allow to reference it at various granularities in a way that is at the same time convenient and effective. We call upon the research community to adopt widely this approach.
